Murder By Numbers Lyrics - Sting

Once that you've decided on a killing 

First you make a stone of your heart 

And if you find that your hands are still willing 

Then you can turn a murder into art 

There really isn't any need for bloodshed 

You just do it with a little more finesse 

If you can slip a tablet into someone's coffee 

Then it avoids an awful lot of mess 

It's murder by numbers one two three 

It's as easy to learn as your abc 

Murder by numbers, one, two, three 

It's as easy to learn as your abc 

Now if you have a taste for this experience 

And you're flushed with your very first success 

Then you must try a twosome or a threesome 

And you'll find your conscience bothers you much less

Because murder is like anything you take to 

It's a habit-forming need for more and more 

You can bump off every member of your family 

And anybody else you find a bore 

Because it's murder by numbers, one, two, three 

It's as easy to learn as your abc 

Murder by numbers, one, two, three 

It's as easy to learn as your abc 

Now you can join the ranks of the illustrious 

In history's great dark hall of fame 

All our greatest killers were industrious 

At least the ones that we all know by name 

But you can reach the top of your profession 

If you become the leader of the land 

For murder is the sport of the elected 

And you don't need to lift a finger of your hand

Because it's murder by numbers, one, two, three 

It's as easy to learn as your abc 

Murder by numbers, one, two, three 

It's as easy to learn as your a, b, c, d, e
