This is a rock song. It’s about disloyalty among thieves.

It was over but you never came around
To the center of the city
Beat like a dog but dogged as a hound and singing
I was almost ready

It was over ’cause we had it figured out
It was ugly it was gritty
A perfect crime, an easy in and out and singing
I was almost ready
I was almost ready
For your Sunday morning paper
That you’ll love to read

It was over and I thought we got away
It was almost wicked easy
Now split and hide, we’ll meet up under ground and singing
I was almost ready
I was almost ready
For your Sunday morning paper
That you’ll love to
Read on the second paragraph on page eleven
Headlining on the beat so
Say you like it
Say you like it please

We were set for a killer hit
We knew what we were gonna do
And I meant when I said I did
Everything that you told me to and

It went just like you said it would
That’s why I left it up to you
If anyone then I knew you could
Make it go like you wanted to

Anything that you wanted to
Anything that you wanted to,
wanted to, wanted to

I’ll never, ever, ever let it go
It was everything we dreamed
We’ll ride together down to easy street and singing
I was almost ready
I was almost ready
For your Sunday morning paper
That you’ll love to
Read on the second paragraph on page eleven
Headlining on the beat so
Say you like it
Say you like it please
