Thick As Thieves

Lyrics for Thick As Thieves

Times were so tough But not as tough as they are now We were so close And nothing came between us Or 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 Run away Run away Run 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 everything 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 a while 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 changed our minds And 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 And 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 now we've gone and spoiled everything Now we're no longer As thick as thieves
