It's All In The Mind - The Life Of A Thief
Oh, the dreams I could dream
The life I could live
And the stories I could tell
About the things that I did
And the lies that I'd said
Covered up and concealed
In a room I once laughed
Not a thing I'd reveal
Yes fun would prevail over menial tasks
And responsible acts would curl up in the dark
And my friend would be left
And I not yet see
With stars in my eyes
And the spotlight on me
His dragon not tame
So I tease and I prod
Now my friend has buried his
head in the sod
What a fool he must be to sit all alone
When there's women and wine at the end of a phone
Call up a child
Drag down a queen
And attempt to do these things unseen
And no one would know
The secret lies low
My pals wouldn't know or see
Perversity lies close to the skin
But my tone goes so much deeper in
Do you know the things that lie to you?
Those things lie to me too
Oh yes, the dreams I could dream
The life I could live
The stories I could tell
About the things that I did
And the lies that I said
The cover up I conceived
But the life of a thief's not for me
The life of a thief's not for me
