Thick As Thieves (LP版) - Natalie Merchant[00:00:00]

Written by：Merchant Na[00:00:01]

Remember how it all began[00:00:03]

The apple and the fall of man[00:00:05]

The price we paid[00:00:08]

So the people say[00:00:11]

Down a path of shame[00:00:15]

It lead us dared to bite the hand[00:00:17]

That fed us the fairy tale[00:00:20]

The moral end[00:00:23]

The wheel of fortune[00:00:25]

Never turns again[00:00:26]

Never turns again[00:00:37]

The worst of it has come and gone[00:00:49]

In the chaos of millennium[00:00:52]

In the falling out[00:00:55]

Of the doomsday crowd[00:00:57]

Their last retreat is moving slow[00:01:01]

They burn their bridges as they go[00:01:04]

The heretic is beatified[00:01:07]

Teach the harlot's child[00:01:12]

To smile[00:01:14]

Wracked again by indecision[00:01:37]

Should we make that small incision[00:01:40]

Testify to the bleeding heart inside[00:01:43]

We cut we scratched[00:01:49]

We rent we slashed[00:01:50]

And when he opened up at last[00:01:52]

Found a cul de sac[00:01:55]

Deep and black[00:01:57]

Of smoke and ash[00:02:00]

Deep and black[00:02:12]

Of smoke and ash[00:02:14]

The wicked king of parody[00:02:26]

Is kissing all his enemies[00:02:29]

On the seventh day[00:02:32]

Of the seventh week[00:02:36]

The tyrant's voice is softer now[00:02:39]

But just for one forgiving hour[00:02:42]

Before the rise of his[00:02:45]

Iron fist again[00:02:50]

Fist again[00:03:02]

I've come tonight[00:03:52]

I've come to know[00:03:53]

The way we are[00:03:55]

The way we'll go[00:03:56]

And to measure this[00:03:58]

The width of the wide abyss[00:04:01]

I come to you in restless sleep[00:04:05]

Where all your dreams[00:04:08]

Turn bitter sweet[00:04:10]

With voodoo doll philosophies[00:04:11]

And day glo holy trinities[00:04:16]

The crooked raft that leaves the shore[00:04:19]

Ferries drunken souls aboard[00:04:23]

Pilgrims march to Compestela[00:04:25]

Visions of their saint in yellow[00:04:28]

Follow deep in trance[00:04:32]

Lost in a catatonic dance[00:04:34]

Know no future[00:04:37]

Damn the past[00:04:38]

Blind warm ecstatic[00:04:40]

Safe at last[00:04:42]
