The Perfect Crime Songtext
von Cold Chisel

The summer lightning flicks in sheets, the negative reveals
The last house where this dogtown meets the river, meets the fields
Lookin′ out the East I'd say, that thunderhead could be a thousand miles away
Out off the coast, unreal

I′ve been thinkin', off and on, about you
About the summer now gone, and what I mean to do
All in all, this town, is only good for if you need to not be found
For a while, for a turn or two

You, on the other hand, just may be
A whole new and fascinating possibility
How far, and how wired, could we get on down the line
Once fired, on that trajectory


How long could we play
Who'd be the first to peel away before the end
Is what I′d like to see

Yeah, you can look around
But we ain′t got much time
Maybe, we'll be, the perfect crime

The summer lightning flicks in sheets, across the world tonight
All across this little town, this little party light
Strung out with the others, down a highway bleak and beautiful as you
All flash, and no relief in sight

One kiss, you and I, could outrun anything we do
For a while, and that′s alright

Yeah, you can look around
But we ain't got much time
Baby, we′ll be, the perfect crime
Baby, we'll be, the perfect crime
