As a matter of fact, I did see that
|
Wondering what you were trying to prove
|
Caught in the act in a black and white photograph
|
I'll never know how much he stole from you
|
Rubies you begged him to take when he left
|
I was jealous before but I suddenly understand
|
Chorus:
|
The master thief has been murdered
|
Another legend revealed to be a man
|
And all the women are weeping
|
Because their diamonds are worthless once again
|
Somewhere in the night a church bell is ringing out
|
And Paris is only an hour away
|
We course through the night
|
Like the blood from an angry heart
|
Chorus
|
Hush, baby, hush
|
Wish upon your lucky star
|
The romance has gone from the boulevard
|
And the danger has fled back to the ghetto's embrace
|
And this logical world has lost its magical face
|
Chorus
|
Put your pictures away with your dreams and your memories
|
Just give me your aching impermanent flesh
|
Let your decadence rest, tomorrow's another day
|
Somewhere in your eyes is a little girl
|
Aching for something you never can keep
|
Just lay yourself down
|
Inspiration will come to you
|
Chorus
|
The Master thief has been murdered(x4)
