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



Chorus:

Love stops knocking, your heart starts rocking

It's crime time



Out on the main land

Hit him with a right hand

Stepped on his ego

Now he fells 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



(chorus)



They murder for a dollar

No one hears you holler

Wrap up your baby

Then you'll be a scholar
