THE THIEF

V6

[Intro] Pretty things... Shiny things... Things that don't belong to me. Yet. [Verse 1] I see the diamonds I see the gold Every little treasure Every story left untold You keep them locked away You think they're safe inside But nothing stays protected When Magpie comes tonight I don't steal because I need it I steal because I want it And once I see something beautiful... I can't leave it behind. [Pre-Chorus] One little spark One little shine If it's beautiful... Then it should be mine. [Chorus] I'M THE THIEF! I TAKE WHAT I DESIRE! EVERY LITTLE TREASURE EVERY LITTLE FIRE! I'M THE THIEF! YOU CAN HIDE IT ALL YOU WANT! LOCK THE DOORS! GUARD THE VAULT! I'LL STILL GET WHAT I WANT! [Verse 2] A necklace from a dead man's wife A jewel from a king A priceless little memory I'll steal anything You call it obsession I call it appreciation. You call it stealing I call it liberation. Because beauty shouldn't sit Behind a glass display Beauty should belong To whoever takes it away. [Pre-Chorus] See that sparkle? See that light? That's mine. It always was. [Chorus] I'M THE THIEF! I TAKE WHAT I DESIRE! EVERY LITTLE TREASURE EVERY LITTLE FIRE! I'M THE THIEF! YOU CAN HIDE IT ALL YOU WANT! LOCK THE DOORS! GUARD THE VAULT! I'LL STILL GET WHAT I WANT! [Bridge] Batman... You think this is about money? No. Money disappears. But beauty... Beauty stays. And I refuse to let beautiful things belong to anyone but me. [Breakdown] SEE IT! WANT IT! TAKE IT! RUN! NO LOCK! NO VAULT! NO WALL! CAN STOP ME! SHINE! SPARKLE! GLITTER! GLOW! IF IT'S BEAUTIFUL... I OWN IT! [Final Chorus] I'M THE THIEF! THE CITY KNOWS MY NAME! I DON'T NEED YOUR MONEY! I DON'T NEED YOUR FAME! I'M THE THIEF! AND I'LL TAKE WHAT'S MINE! ONE MORE JEWEL! ONE MORE TREASURE! ONE MORE PERFECT SHINE! [Outro] You should really lock that window. ... Oh. Too late.
