Thick As Thieves

Times were so tough
 But not as tough as they are now
 We were so close
 And nothing came between us
 Or the world
 No personal situations
 Thick as thieves us
 We'd stick together for all time
 And we meant it
 But it turns out
 Just for a while
 We stole the friendship
 That bound us together
 We stole from the schools
 And their libraries
 We stole from the drugs
 That sent us to sleep
 We stole from the drink
 That made us sick
 We stole anything
 That we couldn't keep
 And it was enough
 We didn't have to spoil anything
 And always be as thick as thieves
 Like a perfect stranger
 You came into my life
 Then like the perfect Lone Ranger
 You rode away
 Run away
 Run away
 Run away
 We stole the love from young girls
 In ivory towers
 We stole autumn leaves
 And summer showers
 We stole the silent wind
 That says you are free
 We stole everything
 That we could see
 But it wasn't enough
 And now we've gone and spoiled everything
 Now we're no longer as thick as thieves
 You came into my life
 Then like a perfect stranger
 You walked away
 Walked away
 Walked away
 Walked away
 Thick as thieves us
 We'd stick together for all time
 And we meant it
 But it turns out
 Just for a while
 We stole the friendship that bound us together
 We stole the burning sun
 In the open sky
 We stole the twinkling stars
 In the black night
 We stole the green-belt fields
 That made us believe
 We stole everything
 That we could see
 But something came along that changed our minds
 And I don't know what
 And I don't know why
 But we seemed to grow up
 In a flash of time
 While we watched our ideals
 Helplessly unwind
 And we're no longer as thick as thieves
 No
 We're not as thick
 As we used to be
 No
 We're no longer
 As thick as thieves
 No
 We're not as thick
 As we used to be
 No
 It wasn't enough
 And now we've gone and spoiled everything
 Now we're no longer
 As thick as thieves
