Thief

Trip Shakespeare

I took her love late on the very

first date

That man is a robber

I swept her to the side on the

tilt-a-whirl ride

That man is a thief



I held her white throat, clawed within her coat

That man is a robber



I rolled her with a shame

robbed her just the same

That man is a thief



Bells, bells, alarms and bells

Horns, vows, the cops and bells

I rolled her on a date, she sent

me to my fate

That man is a thief
