Thick as Thieves

[Intro]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 1]

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 wasn't enough, we didn't have to spoil anything

And always be as thick as thieves

[Refrain]

Like a perfect stranger, you came into my life

Then like the perfect lone ranger

You rode away, rode away, rode away, rode away

[Verse 2]

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

[Refrain]

You came into my life

Then, like a perfect stranger

You walked away, walked away, walked away, walked away

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

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

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

Now, 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

[Outro]

No, it wasn't enough

And now, we've gone and spoiled everything

Now we're no longer as thick as thieves
