The Thief

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
