Well I think it's as the title states, partners in crime. I'm not sure how much is a reference or what the lyrics might be referring to. Lawyer is used for defense when faced in court. One of the partners seemed to have gotten caught as the line "friends locked up at the zoo." I believe this person is calling people in prison animals. The guest-list refers to visitation. You have to be on the guest list in order to visit anyone in prison. There is also the forest. It is mention that they don't belong there, so this must be unknown territory or possibly taboo. Then they later realize that they are in the "forest." They have crossed that line they thought they wouldn't. Then the lasts few lines is the last conversation they have together. The tiger might be the police/guard who are always looking for prey.
