Colin Hay
Master Of Crime
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
Mm-hmm...

Yeah, he's a mystery man
Catch him if you can
You'll need a guiding light
For he only travels by night

Ariba, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...
Ooh-ooh-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, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...
Ooh-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 scenes of crimes
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
Mm-hmm-hmm...

Ariba, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...
Ooh-ooh-ooh...

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...
Ooh-ooh-ooh...
