Dressed down in black,
my gloves skin tight, out for a scam on a
Friday night.
I'm an unofficial king with an invisible crown,
who can make his entree all over town.
With a piece in my pocket and the cops on the tape,
a life of crime's an easy shake.
That's how I like it,
don't like close shaves
There's nothin' dumber
than feelin' brave
Beasts like us got a beast to feed
All we have a taste, what we need
Beasts like us got a beast to flaunt
All we have a taste, what we want
I found a mansion, was through the fact
And at the safe, in seconds flat
I went to work on the combination
When I suddenly felt
The strangest sensation
Like a diamond under a jeweler's glass
I was being appraised, being classified
Turned to meet my destiny
A thief in black who looked
just like me
Thieves like us got a feast to feed
All we ever taste, what we need
Thieves like us got a feast to flaunt
All we ever taste, what we want
We made a deal as a kind of token
We split the take, not a word was spoken
And she seemed to re -defy the night
The body glowed in the pale moonlight
Well in the morning I couldn't see
All that remained enshrined in me
Was the beauty she said
Beauty's all that's real
As she led me out that night to steal
Thieves like us got a feast to feed
All we ever take's what we need
Beasts like us got a beast of thought
All we ever take's what we want
She laid me like a good winged hawk
We laughed and kissed as we took stock
A bracelet, a watch, a precious ring
The voice described each lovely thing
She said, every day I'm gonna sing to you
A song for lovers whose hearts are true
Well, the morning came,
I couldn't hear a sound
Couldn't hear my foot as
it hit the ground
Feeds like us, got a feast to feed
All we ever taste, what we make
Feeds like us, got a feast to plot
All we ever taste, what we want
Though I was deaf, though I was blind
Of all the riches we could find
Our life together was worth it all
She had me bent up to the wall
Her smell and taste were next in line
She got them, my passion refined itself
She said, baby,
when you count up the score
You'll find the winner in love
Will be the one who loves more
Beams like us got a beast of feel
All we ever taste what we make
Beams like us got a beast of want
All we ever taste what we want
With the next night came the biggest plot
But I stayed behind not to be cumbersome
I invoked my assassin
from a lonely bed
I addressed myself to
the feel of her hand
On my shoulder, I want it there
On my sex, I want the silk of her hair
My victorious queen was
home with the dawn
And we loved with a passion till my
senses were gone
You ask me where's that girl today
Well, we're still thieves
and she plays the way
See, she stole my senses bit by bit
But like a master thief was
on her heart that I had
Got a beast that
knows no shame
You
Lewis Furey
