The Good Thief

Is it me? A gentleman on a new frontier
Or am I just the water under holy feet?
It ain't me, it's giving what I would never need
Take a little, I've got room for sharing

And if you want to sigh
Why did you ask me why?
I held half in my hand
The other and...
But if we're even torn
Why would you ever stay home?

Can't help but die
For both of our lives
And leave ourselves alone
Could you leave in
Make them leave in time
Live in bed, am I better?
The role we never realize
Leave ourselves alone
Could you leave in
Make them leave in time

So we married them off to American whores
They were virgin hands to fall
We were never that way
Until our southern grave
Of a thousand whores

Mary, where is your self control?
Mary, where are your heart and soul?

And run just like the bastard you are
You never even killed your damned before martyred made you a man
And run just like the bastard you are
You never even crossed your arms before making your final demands

And run just like the bastard you are
Just like the bastard you are
Just like the bastard you are
Just like the bastard you are
And run just like the bastard you are
You never even killed until before martyred made you a man

And run just like the bastard you are
Just like the bastard you are
Just like the bastard you are
