Thick as Thieves - The Menzingers

I held up a liquor store

Demanding top shelf metaphors

Sinner’s smile and open arms

Drop a line to charm the silent alarm

Neutral angels calling the cops

They’ll be choosing sides when the fighting stops

Polizia in the cabaret

While we six kings made our getaway

Thick as thieves, on our knees

With an ocean in between

Thick as thieves, on our knees

With an ocean in between

With an ocean in between

Laughter in the darkness

Whispers in the shadows

I was there when the wall fell down

I’ll be there when the ocean rises

Building castles of cans and bottles

Drinking like they do in novels

Know they’ll catch me by and by

But tonight you are my alibi

Same old sun that we all come from

Faded stars in the air that we breathe

In the earth, in the sea

Thick as thieves, on our knees

With an ocean in between

Thick as thieves, on our knees

With an ocean in between

Thick as thieves, on our knees

With an ocean in between

Thick as thieves, on our knees

With an ocean in between

With an ocean in between
