Victor Wainwright & The WildRoots Subliminal Criminal lyrics

He's a Subliminal Criminal, a lyin' scamp
a profile offender, a renowned tramp
Subliminal Criminal, don't give a damn
got the whole wide world in the palm of his hands

Exquisitely ruthless, he's poised for attack
hides in plain site, so dapper in black
Bigger than Dallas, he walks in the room
takes the stage, and lowers the boom

The rascal meets the weasel with a bogus refrain
to claim the turf, of the clinically insane
Flap jack, pork hats and clove cigarettes
bet your bottom dollar you ain't seen nothing yet.

He's a Subliminal Criminal, a lyin' scamp

a profile offender, a renowned tramp
Subliminal Criminal, don't give a damn
got the whole wide world in the palm of his hands

Hot on the scent, of cheap perfume
chat up the suckers, and watch them swoon
Snaggletooth, whisky breath, set up the kill
He lured you in, put your cash in the till

He's a subliminal Criminal, a lyin' scamp
A profile offender, a renowned tramp
Subliminal Criminal, don't give a damn
got the whole wide world in the palm of his hands
