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 a tale of reckless love
Living a life of crime on the run
A 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

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
Hes 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 skies are black with blood-filled brain

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 will do us part

So now we haunt you in the dark
You never took us alive
We live as ghost among these streets

Lovers and partners
Partners in crime
