The Perfect Crime (The Longest Time, Billy Joel)

Billy Joel's The Longest Time is one of my favorite songs. LOST's Nikki and Paolo are two of my least favorite fictional characters. Oh, the irony...

The Perfect Crime

Nikki and Paolo: Whoa-oa-oa-oa, it was the perfect crime.
Whoa-oa-oa, it was the perfect...

Nikki: Listen, Paolo, it just isn't right
Claiming stealing would prevent a fight.
Now I despise you.
I want to traumatize you.
I bet you thought it was the perfect crime.

Once we worked together on this con.
Now your credibility is gone.
Oh, you astound me!
Hope that spider bites you soundly.
I bet you thought it was the perfect crime.

Nikki and Paolo: Whoa-oa-oa-oa, it was the perfect crime.
Whoa-oa-oa, it was the perfect...

Paolo: Nikki, tell me how you have the gall
To confront me, acting so appalled.
I'm only needy
Because you're way too greedy.
I bet you thought it was the perfect crime.

Did you plan this end all along
And plot spider bites
While playing ping-pong?
Baby, your heart's blacker than tar.
I have been scarred,
And I'm just a big dope, for

I believed you cuz you turned me on.

Nikki: Don't you pin this thing on me, Don Juan!
Your bold advances
Swept me up like ballroom dances.
I bet you thought it was the perfect crime.

"She's a blond; she's not very smart,"
You said to yourself
As I played my part.
It was my worst acting gig by far.

Paolo: You gladly played the star
In your own private soap, for

You can't get enough of pampering.

Nikki: So says you, the one with all the bling.
But now it's too bad
You'll have to drop those doodads.
Bet you didn't think I'd thwart the perfect crime.

Nikki and Paolo: Whoa-oa-oa-oa, it was the perfect crime.
Whoa-oa-oa, it was the perfect crime.
Whoa-oa-oa-oa, it was the perfect crime.
Whoa-oa-oa, it was the perfect crime...
