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

(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

Cops:
This is [?] sheriffs 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 ghost among these streets
Lovers and partners
Partners in crime
(So run and hide)
Partners in crime
