Thick as Thieves

Then like a perfect stranger
And it was enough
Walked away, walked away
We stole everything that we could see
We'd stick together for all time
We'd stick together for all time
We're not as thick as we used to be, no
We stole the twinkling stars in the black night
We stole the love from young girls in ivory towers
No, we're no longer as thick as thieves, no

We stole from the schools and their libraries
And the world, no personal situations
We stole from the drink that made us sick
You rode away, rode away
But something came along that changes our minds
We stole autumn leaves and summer showers
We're not as thick as we used to be
We stole everything that we could see
You came into my life,
We didn't have to spoil anything
You came into my life
Rode away, rode away
And always be as thick as thieves
Now we're no longer as thick as thieves
You walked away, walked away
We stole the burning sun in the open sky

And we meant it but it turns out just for a while
But we seemed to grow up in a flash of time
We stole, the friendship that bound us together
We're no longer as thick as thieves, no
And we meant it but it turns out just for awhile

We stole the friendship that bound us together
We were so close
And we've gone and spoiled everything
Thick as thieves us

While we watched our ideals helplessly unwind

We stole anything that we couldn't keep
We stole from the drugs that sent us to sleep
Then like the perfect Lone Ranger

Thick as thieves us

I don't know what and I don't know why
We stole the silent wind that says you are free

We stole the green belt fields that made us believe
And nothing came between us
And now we've gone and spoiled everything
But it wasn't enough

Like a perfect stranger
No it wasn't enough
