The Perfect Crime #1/The Day I Knew You'd Not Come Back (Medley) - The Decemberists
Written by：Colin Meloy
I got a gun I got a girl
I got a bullet proof plan to pull
The perfect crime
I got the perfect crime
I got a warehouse down at the docks
I got fifteen precincts of cops bought
The perfect crime
I got the perfect crime
You got to get your clock locked
Get your stopwatch synchronized
You got to get it so you can't put a pin through your alibi
To pull the perfect crime
To pull the perfect crime
I got a guy bought on the inside
I got a night guard gagged and hog tied
The perfect crime
This is the perfect crime
I got a brain I got a brawn
I got all the proper papers for the gendarmes
The perfect crime
C'est a the perfect crime
I got the mob boss bought
I got a letter from the DEA
I got a mock up of the lockup
Where they stock up on their pocket change
To pull the perfect crime
This is the perfect crime
We hit a snag when we tripped the alarm
Because the dock side spics had been tipped off in time
To this perfect crime
Called out the dogs called out the cops
I caught the deputy ops
In a cold cock I will do time
For this perfect crime
So we ran around town with the cops snapping on our tails
Because we'd rather brave death then a fist f**k in county jail
Just for the perfect crime
For the perfect crime
This is the perfect crime
The day I knew you'd not come back
I built this castle out of glass
But I could never understand
Where the windows and walls began and end
No I could never understand
Where the windows and walls began and end
I built this colonnade of sand
Stretched out like fingers from my hand
But with the waves coming in
In the morning I had to build again
And with the waves coming in
In the morning I had to build again
The day I knew you'd not come back
I built this castle out of glass
But I could never understand
Where the windows and walls began and end
No I could never understand
Where the windows and walls began and end
