We were so close and nothing came between us
and the world -No personal situations.
Riff 2 Riff 1
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.
Riff 1: x2
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 -
