Lyrics The Tiger Lillies

The Tiger Lillies

Car thief

I steal your car any time of day

And by this time tomorrow it’s been resprayed

I will steal your car, do you wanna make a date?

By this time tomorrow I’ll have changed the plates

Car thief

They say that I’m a menace, on the street no car is safe

I’ll ship it abroad, sales outlets are in place

And all you motherfuckers you are all insured

So a little inconvenience I’m sure you can endure

Well I suppose my crimes go in the pecking orders low

In and out of prison all the time I seem to go

I suppose the fact that I get caught shows I’m a bit slow

But the judge said I’m a social menace you know

I started as a plumber but my pipes would always leak

I tried a little carpentry but ended up a thief

So now a prison sentence is a hazard I must face

But I’m getting pretty close to buying my own place
