You'll never take us alive!
We swore that death would 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, the tale of reckless love,
Living a life of crime on [bad word] 
[bad word] 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 [bad word] close enough to burn,
Then we'll play with fire 'cause...

You'll never take us alive!
We swore that death would 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 [bad word] close enough to burn,
Then we're burning this place to the ground 'cause...

You'll never take us alive!
We swore that death would 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.

([inaudible] Police [bad word] 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,
morbid painting on display.
This is the night the young love died,
Buried at each other's 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.
