[Chorus]
A dark figure -
badge half shined, and hands half clean,
he watched her shadow cut between,
the hard red light,
on this night lit by beautiful lies.

[Verse 1]
He sits staring out from beneath,
a windshield -
as the wipers they cry and squeak,
his car's parked for way too long,
and he can feel she's done something wrong,
on this night lit by beautiful lies.

[Chorus]
A dark figure -
badge half shined, and hands half clean,
he's out of the car now, in the rain,
she turns down an alleyway,
on this night lit by beautiful lies.

[Verse 2]
He follows her through the rain,
watches as she circles a house again,
sees her pound on the wood front door,
does he know what's in store,
on this night lit by beautiful lies.

[Chorus]
A dark figure -
badge half shined, and hands half clean,
he watches as she goes in,
hears a struggle then goes bursting in,
with his gun drawn and ready,
on this night lit by beautiful lies.

[Verse 3]
He sees her standing there,
in yellow with long dark hair,
but before she can move again,
he draws out the paper to show her :
"Killer strikes again."
The adrenaline - it kicks in,
she reaches quickly for the knife again,
on this night lit by beautiful lies.

[Chorus]
A dark figure -
badge half faded, and hands unclean,
does something she wasn't expecting.
(pause)
"I like your work," he says and grins...
(pause)
she looks back and smiles in sin,
on this night lit by beautiful lies.

[Outro]
He wears the badge,
to look innocent,
now they walk together through the night...
a night still lit by beautiful lies.
