Thieves Like Us Songtext

von Walkabouts

Don't ask me to run from here
You might be surprised.
Don't ask me to burn it clean
Don't ask me to compromise.
Don't leave me to wander
Don't leave me to bleed
The black ship returns to the fort
Bring me in
We did what we were told.
Your Saint Christopher medal
Another scare on your chest
The guilty run when no one chases
The guilty find the time to rest.
Get in the prisons of late nights
I was the first one to say
"slow down
Just let a chance
The angels have lost us today".

Thieves like us
Don't need no alibies
Thieves like us
Will never lush the night.

From the vermin
Wild doves are crying your name
Come here close...
Come here close...
I put my foot on your shoulder
You lift me over the flames
Sirens, they cut through the trees
Your hand frozen on me
Say "go alone" as you turn to walk on.

Thieves like us
Don't need no alibies
Thieves like us
Will never lush the night.
