The Thief

The Thief Lyrics

You've got a rich dad
Who hates every boy like me
I've got no money
And daddy don't like my ease

I wanna steal you like a pearl
I wanna display you like a diamond

Let me take you
To a beach in Alicanté
Sleep on the strand
To the breath of España's sea
Until you stray

Should I find you're not around
I would surely chase you down
Lure you in with a lonely sound
And then I'll have you

I'm gonna steal you like a pearl
I'm gonna display you like a diamond

Do I awake alone?
A five dollar bill
In yesterday's clothes
On the floor of a room off Calle Mayor
That a better man paid for

Should I find you're not around
I would surely chase you down
Lure you in with a lonely sound
And then I'll have you

I'm gonna steal you like a pearl
I'm gonna display you like a diamond

You got a real shine
Set in fool's gold
I am the fool
Your pearls are plastic
And diamonds glass
Now I'm alone

Should I find you're not around
I would surely chase you down
Lure you in with a lonely sound
And then I'll have you
