Cold Chisel - The Perfect Crime lyrics

The summer lightning flicks in sheets The negative reveals The last house where this dogtown meets the river Meets the fields Lookin’ out the East I’d say That thunderhead could be a thousand miles away Out off the coast Unreal I’ve been thinkin’, off and on, about you About the summer now gone And what I mean to do All in all, this town Is only good for if you need to not be found For a while For a turn or two You, on the other hand, just may be A whole new and fascinating possibility How far, and how wired Could we get on down the line Once fired On that trajectory How long could we play Who’d be the first to peel away before the end Is what I’d like to see Yeah, you can look around But we ain’t got much time Baby, we’ll be The perfect crime. The summer lightning flicks in sheets Across the world tonight All across this little town This little party light Strung out with the others Down a highway bleak and beautiful as you All flash And no relief in sight One kiss, you and I Could outrun anything we do For a while And that’s alright Yeah, you can look around But we ain’t got much time Baby, we’ll be The perfect crime.
