Police, The - Murder By Numbers Lyrics

Complimentary "Murder By Numbers" Ringtone

Once that you've decided on a killing 
First you make a stone of your heart 
And if you find that your hands are still willing 
Then you can turn a murder into art 

There really isn't any need for bloodshed 
You just do it with a little more finesse 
If you can slip a tablet into someone's coffee 
Then it avoids an awful lot of mess 

Because it's murder by numbers one two three 
It's as easy to learn as your ABCs 
It's murder by numbers one two three 
It's as easy to learn as your ABCs 

Now if you have a taste for this experience 
And you're flushed with your very first success 
Then you must try a twosome or a threesome 
And you'll find your conscience bothers you much less 

Because murder is like anything you take to 
It's a habit-forming need for more and more 
You can bump off every member of your family 
And anybody else you find a bore 

Because it's murder by numbers one two three 
It's as easy to learn as your ABCs 
It's murder by numbers one two three 
It's as easy to learn as your ABCs 

Now you can join the ranks of the illustrious 
In history's great dark hall of fame 
All our greatest killers were industrious 
At least the ones that we all know by name 

But you can reach the top of your profession 
If you become the leader of the land 
For murder is the sport of the elected 
And you don't need to lift a finger of your hand 

Because it's murder by numbers one two three 
It's as easy to learn as your ABCs 
Murder by numbers one two three 
It's as easy to learn as your ABCDEs 

One two three, ABC 
One two three, ABC 
One two three, ABC 

I said because it's murder by numbers one two three 
It's as easy to learn as your ABCs 
It's murder by numbers one two three 
It's as easy to learn as your ABCDEs
