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 Heard neutral angels call 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 Laughter in the darkness I heard 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 get 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 breath, 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
