Crimes of Passion Lyrics

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 yes
Suki-Lee

Each night she crosses
Different borders mmmm
Each night she's someone's refugee

Crimes of passion
You'll pay the price
If you do it once yeah
Why not do it twice yeah yeah

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 yeah
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 yeah
Why not do it twice

Crimes of passion
Sweet whims of vice
Just how much terror
Can one kiss entice

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
