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)
