Red lipstick and a silver gun Another case that's just begun They call me when the trail goes cold I'm worth my weight in stolen gold Cigarette smoke hides my face Every secret has its place Trust no one, believe no lies Death is dancing in disguise I'm a crimson whisper in the night Chasing clues by candlelight Swing low, secrets high Every truth's a perfect lie I'm a crimson whisper, dangerous and free The mystery they'll never solve is me Pearl necklace hides a wire thin Let the gentlemen think they'll win While I'm recording every word Flying silent as a bird Cigarette smoke hides my face Every secret has its place Trust no one, believe no lies Death is dancing in disguise I'm a crimson whisper in the night Chasing clues by candlelight Swing low, secrets high Every truth's a perfect lie I'm a crimson whisper, dangerous and free The mystery they'll never solve is me When the case is closed and done I disappear before the sun But in the darkness I remain Playing this eternal game I'm a crimson whisper in the night Chasing clues by candlelight Swing low, secrets high Every truth's a perfect lie I'm a crimson whisper, dangerous and free The mystery they'll never solve is me (The mystery is me)
