Crime Time Lyrics

Death cab for cutie
Sung it like a beauty
Stepped out forgetting
Danger has a duty
Lonely night
He wants to squeeze her tight

They murder for a dollar
No-one hears you holler
Wrap up your baby
Then you'll be a scholar

Love stops knocking
Your heart stops rocking
It's crime time
Crime time

Out on the mainland
Hit him with a right hand
Stepped on his ego
Now he feels like a man
Do it right
It's a lonely fight

Playing Fats Waller
Lipstick on your collar
Back in 1950
People had their honour

Love stops knocking
Your heart stops rocking
It's crime time
Crime time

They murder for a dollar
No-one hears you holler
Wrap up your baby
Then you'll be a scholar

Love stops knocking
Your heart stops rocking
It's crime time
Crime time
