Crimes of Passion

Jim Carroll


She's an all-night all-night rental 
She's a rental Oriental 
Suki-Lee... 
Oh, her eyes, yes her eyes... 
You better pass her by 
Suki-Lee... Each night she crosses 
Different borders 
Each night she's someone's 
Refugee Crimes of passion 
You'll pay the price 
If you do it once 
Why not do it twice? She only works while the 
Parrot's squawking 
In the light of the TV talking 
Suki-Lee... 
She undresses in the light of the TV 
In the light of the TV squawking 
Suki-Lee... 
She hears the preachers quoting from 
Solomon's psalms 
She hears the news of 
Terrorist bombs 
Crimes of passion You'll pay yes 
you'll pay the price 
If you do it once 
Go on do it twice? Cracks in the mirror 
Bombs in the moonlight 
Those whims of vice 
Just how much terror 
Can one kiss entice? Crimes of passion 
You will pay the price 
If you do it once 
Why not do it twice? Crimes of passion 
Such whims of vice 
Just how much terror 
Can one kiss entice?
