Thick As Thieves |
Times were so tough, but not as tough as they are now, |
We were so close and nothing came between us — and the world — |
No personal situations. |
Thick as thieves us, we’d stick together for all time, |
and we meant it but it turns out just for a while, |
we stole — the friendship that bound us together — |
We stole from the schools and their libraries, |
We stole from the drugs that sent us to sleep, |
We stole from the drink that made us sick, |
We stole anything that we couldn’t keep, |
And it was enough — we didn’t have to spoil anything, |
And always be as thick as thieves. |
Like a perfect stranger — you came into my life, |
Then like the perfect lone ranger — you rode away — rode away, |
rode away — rode away. |
We stole the love from young girls in ivory towers, |
We stole autumn leaves and summer showers, |
We stole the silent wind that says you are free, |
We stole everything that we could see, |
But it wasn’t enough — and now we’ve gone and spoiled everthing, |
Now we’re no longer as thick as thieves. |
You came into my life — |
Then like a perfect stranger you walked away — walked away — |
walked away — walked away. |
Thick as thieves us — we’d stick together for all time, |
and we meant it but it turns out just for awhile, |
we stole the friendship that bound us together. |
We stole the burning sun in the open sky, |
We stole the twinkling stars in the black night, |
We stole the green belt fields that made us believe, |
We stole everything that we could see. |
But something came along that changes our minds, |
I don’t know what and I don’t know why, |
But we seemed to grow up in a flash of time, |
While we watched our ideals helplessly unwind. |
No — we’re no longer as thick as thieves — no, |
We’re not as thick as we used to be — no, |
We’re no longer as thick as thieves — no, |
We’re not as thick as we used to be — |
no it wasn’t enough — and we’ve gone and spoiled everything |
Now we’re no longer as thick as thieves. |
