Thick As Thieves (2005 Version) - Natalie Merchant (娜坦莉·莫森特)[00:00:00]

Remember how it all began[00:00:04]

The apple and the fall of man[00:00:08]

The price we paid[00:00:11]

So the people say[00:00:14]

Down a path of shame it lead us[00:00:19]

Dared to bite the hand that fed us[00:00:23]

The fairy tale[00:00:27]

The moral end[00:00:29]

The wheel of fortune[00:00:31]

Never turns again[00:00:32]

The worst of it has come and gone[00:01:01]

In the chaos of millennium[00:01:05]

In the falling out of the doomsday crowd[00:01:09]

Their last retreat is moving slow[00:01:16]

They burn their bridges as they go[00:01:21]

The heretic is beatified[00:01:24]

He'll teach the harlot's child to smile[00:01:29]

Wracked again by indecision[00:01:59]

Should we make that small incision[00:02:03]

Testify to the bleeding heart inside [00:02:08]

We cut we scratched[00:02:14]

We rent we slashed[00:02:16]

And when he opened up at last[00:02:18]

Found a cul-de-sac[00:02:22]

Deep and black[00:02:24]

Of smoke and ash[00:02:28]

The wicked king of parody[00:02:59]

Is kissing all his enemies[00:03:03]

On the seventh day[00:03:06]

Of the seventh week[00:03:10]

The tyrant's voice is softer now[00:03:14]

But just for one forgiving hour[00:03:17]

Before the rise of his[00:03:21]

Iron fist again[00:03:26]

I've come tonight[00:04:53]

I've come to know[00:04:56]

The way we are[00:04:58]

The way we'll go[00:04:59]

Come to measure this[00:05:01]

The width of the wide abyss[00:05:04]

I come to you in restless sleep[00:05:08]

Where all your dreams turn bitter-sweet[00:05:12]

With voodoo doll philosophies[00:05:17]

And day-glo holy trinities[00:05:21]

The crooked raft that leaves the shore[00:05:24]

Ferries drunken souls aboard[00:05:28]

Pilgrims march to Compestela[00:05:31]

Visions of their saint in yellow[00:05:34]

All follow deep in trance[00:05:38]

Lost in a catatonic dance[00:05:41]

Know no future[00:05:44]

Damn the past[00:05:46]

Blind warm ecstatic[00:05:48]

Safe at last[00:05:51]
