The Perfect Crime - Cold Chisel

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
