The Burglars |
| I could be a hare and I’d |
| Sneak into my private rivals |
| Dreaming I’m a burglar |
| Quick as any day in my |
| Fleeting little chest of hopefuls |
| Lost it to the burglars |
| I can be aware and yet |
| Maybe I’m the same like pirates |
| Likened to the burglars |
| Threat on any day and I’m |
| Hiding from the hare who’s also |
| Hiding from the burglars |
| I didn’t catch his name pow |
| Shot him on the range yow |
| 'Cause he was a burglar |
| Happens in the parks boohoo |
| Even in the old days |
| Stinking of the burglars |
| Happens in my home |
| I never see it coming |
| When I was young |
| We used to put |
| Alarms on our doors |
| And screens like a burglar net |
| Now that I’m older |
| I’m sure that’s absurd |
| That’s the word for the man |
| Who collects who’s he stealing from next |
| When I was young |
| My parents yelled |
| «Beware of the ivory man |
| That will steal and sell» |
| Now that I’m older |
| Those words are still pure |
| Not the look of a crook in his books |
| What’s he taking from you? |
| And worried peeps go on about it |
| Say a lot of changes better come |
| A pocket full of change is emptied by |
| A little gawky bright and bubbly bird |
| Lots of heroes out there thinking 'bout it |
| But minutes of their lives are ticking down |
| And bottles full of love are drunken by |
| A tricky trite and thirsty hungry bird |
| Blooming tips on tulip cones that |
| Don’t pay out they keep on growing |
| Costume thieves who never hand back |
| Half of what you end up owing |
| Has this town really gotten much better? |
| Are the burglars gonna keep on trying to meddle with it? |
| (x4) |
| Probably driving your car with someone |
| Close up your head cause they |
| Are they reading your letters |
| Come on pack up the bed for betters |
| (What you think you own, you don’t) |
| Stealing from the day |
| Didn’t take a second |
| Listened to a record |
| And they got away |
| Sneaky are the burglars |
| When I cross their way |
| Like a helpless chicken |
| Bones will soon be clinking |
| Wearing me for play |
| Bracelet on a burglar |
| Thought I was okay |
| Not as bad as some |
| Sunset on the slums |
| See another day |
| Happy are the burglars |
| Brush it all away |
| Or do I let it sink in? |
| Is it my ambition |
| Just to turn away? |
| Freedom for the burglars |
| What you think you own, you don’t |
| Watch out the burglars |
