Partners in Crime Songtext
von Set It Off feat. Ashley Costello

You′ll never take us alive
We swore that death will do us part
They'll call our crimes a work of art
You′ll never take us alive
We'll live like spoiled royalty, lovers and partners
Partners in crime
Partners in crime

This, the tale of reckless love
Living a life of crime on the run
I brush to a gun to paint these states green and red
Everybody freeze, nobody move
Put the money in the bag or we will shoot
Empty out the vault and me and my doll will be on our way

Our paper faces flood the streets
And if the heat comes close enough to burn
Then we'll play with fire, ′cause


You′ll never take us alive
We swore that death will do us part
They'll call our crimes a work of art
You′ll never take us alive
We'll live like spoiled royalty, lovers and partners
Partners in crime
Partners in crime (oh, just try and catch us!)

Here we find our omnipotent outlaws
Fall behind the grind tonight
Left unaware that the lone store owner
Won′t go down without a fight

Where we gonna go?
He's got us pinned
Baby, I′m a little scared
Now, don't you quit!
He's sounded the alarm
I hear the sirens closing in

Our paper faces flood the streets
And if the heat comes close enough to burn
Then we′re burning this place to the ground, ′cause

You'll never take us alive
We swore that death will do us part
They′ll call our crimes a work of art
You'll never take us alive
We′ll live like spoiled royalty, lovers and partners
Partners in crime


The Placerville sheriff's police department
Come out with your hands up
We have the place surrounded
Put your weapons down, put your weapons down!
Ready men? Aim, fire!

The skies are black with lead-filled rain
A morbid painting on display
This is the night the young love died
Buried at each others side

You never took us alive
We swore that death would do us part
So now we haunt you in the dark
You never took us alive
We live as ghosts among these streets
Lovers and partners, partners in crime
Partners in crime
Partners in crime!
