Lyrics

I have seen The Man,
and after shaking his hand,
found that I could not pull away,
darkness all around me,
in the middle of the day,
and people I meet bow their heads and pray,

I look around,
look at everyone,
I see chains all on their wrists,
I look around,
I see everyone,
and everyone's like this,
well I went to The Man,
I said "take me off your list"
and his wife says to me,
"open wide sesame,
tell me, how many thieves does it take to steal a kiss?"
she says ?there?s no time for waiting,
for the light in your eyes is fading?

Film credit music,
the getaway car,
a girl on violin,
a guy on guitar,

A duet the angels blessed,
you and your card tricks,
you leave me possessed,
and say "the world's got no magic"

you caught my eye,
working without a net,
I am nearly fallen,
and your love is just a bet,

I may never see the knife,
end up dying for a clue,
you know they threw me to the lions,
when they threw me at you,

She hands me a bottle,
the general's wife,
"you got three days" she says,
"run for your life",

And I look around,
look at everyone,
I see chains all on their wrists,
I look around,
I see everyone,
and everyone's like this,
tell me, how many thieves does it take to steal a kiss?

When I have seen The Man,
and after shaking his hand,
found that I could not pull away,
darkness all around me,
in the middle of the day,
and people I meet shake their heads and say,
"He's a hell-bound boy,
he's the devil's toy,
children look away!"

And I'm sinking down.
