Thick as Thieves

I held up a liquor store

Demanded top-shelf metaphors

With a sinner's smile and open arms

Drop a line to charm the silent alarm

Neutral angels calling the cops

They'll be choosing sides when the fighting stops

Polizie in the cabaret

While we six kings made our getaway

Thick as thieves on our knees

With an ocean in between

Thick as thieves on our knees

With an ocean in between

With an ocean in between

Laughter in the darkness

Whispers in the shadows

I was there when the wall fell down

I'll be there when the ocean rises

Building castles with cans and bottles

Drinking like they do in novels

I know they'll catch me by and by

But tonight you are my alibi

The same old sun that we all come from

Faded stars in the air that we breathe

In the earth, in the sea

Thick as thieves on our knees

With an ocean in between

Thick as thieves on our knees

With an ocean in between

Thick as thieves on our knees

With an ocean in between

Thick as thieves on our knees

With an ocean in between

With an ocean in between
