You′ll never take us alive

We swore that death will do us part

They'll call our crimes a work of artYou′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!
