Master of Crime

Colin Hay


Tell me inspector how do you feel? 
We know you're doing all you can 
Your quest in life is to catch the one 
For this you need to have a plan 
And the name is Maurion about whom is this song 
He does things that are wrong 
But he does them in the right way 
Yes he's a mystery man 
Catch him if you can 
You'll need a guiding light, for he only travels by night 

Ariba ooh... 

A criminal is what she may be 
It's time to catch the midnight hour 
She has the knack when she commits a crime 
To have the beauty of a flower 
Yes she's a master of crime 
Yes she's a master of crime 
She's a legend in her own time 

Ariba ooh... 

Tell me inspector how do you sleep 
You know you're doing all you can 
Driven mad by trances oh so deep 
Your faceless shadow of a man 

Yes he's a master of crime 
Yes he's a master of crime 
He's a legend in his own time (try and catch him if you can) 

Running around the streets at night in search of Maurion 
Inspector Garras of the French police and his trusted servant Fong 
Keeping watch from the Eiffel Tower 
Toujours merci et bien 

Drinking coffee 'til the early hours in the Cafe Parisienne 
It's after cocktail hour 
Only then she feels the power 
The only sign left at the scene of crime 
Is a sweet and scented flower 

Yes she's a master of crime 
Yes she's a master of crime 
She's a legend in her own time 

Ariba ooh...
