lyrics

You my dear propel from the ceiling
I'm sweating on the safe
His smiling fat face drooling and dreaming
The guard's coffee had been laced
I lifted the plans from Security Sam
As he beamed in on your legs
Honey here we are arms full of stars
Picasso Degas and Monet

Break down the backdoor to getaway
But Getaway Ray isn't there
He was rolled by a cop I'm told
Turns out her name is Claire
We hop the fence and I catch my pants
You say "It's Paris baby, you take care"
Kiss those dreams goodbye as the cops say hi
To my empty hands and white Hanes underwear

The red lights flashing all around
The handcuffs pressing on my spine
You had me before you were mine

In the courtroom a spectacle
Me with the perfect defense
The judge is pleased as I beg on my knees
Have some mercy on a miscreant
I'm doing the time for the perfect crime
Just a puppet in the master's hands
That's when I get a call from you
Living your life of luxury
With Claire as your company
Me in the taule
And you in the south of France
