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. |
