Lyrics

Heist

[Verse 1]

Like a man on the run

I ain't got no place to hide

Got one hand on my weapon

Pray that God is on my side

Your skin looks so cold

Your eyes they rob me blind

But your spell takes its hold on me

I got mischief on my mind

[Pre-Chorus]

Your hocus-pocus

You're so mysterious with all

Your hocus-pocus

First, she's there and now she's gone

[Chorus]

It's the heist

She stole my heart like a thief in the night

It's the heist

Better watch your back, might take your life

It's the heist

Straight up luck in the role of the dice

It's the heist

Better watch your back, might take your life

It's the heist

[Verse 2]

I'm down on a leash

She got me hooked on her scent

It fills the air, it sticks on me

Like sex and cigarettes

Her touch feels so cold

Her lips taste like whine

It's your spell that takes its hold on me

I got one thing on my mind

[Pre-Chorus]

Your hocus-pocus

You're so mysterious with all

Your hocus-pocus

First she's there and now she's gone

[Chorus]

It's the heist

She stole my heart like a thief in the night

It's the heist

Better watch your back, might take your life

It's the heist

Straight up luck in the role of the dice

It's the heist

Better watch your back, ,ight take your life

It's the heist

[Bridge]

Your hocus-pocus

You're so mysterious with all

Your hocus-pocus

First she's there and now she's gone

[Chorus]

It's the heist

She stole my heart like a thief in the night

It's the heist

Better watch your back, might take your life

It's the heist

Straight up luck in the role of the dice

It's the heist

Better watch your back, might take your life

It's the heist
