Elvis Costello - King Of Thieves Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • I had forgotten all about the case of the three pins
  • They said I must be cracked
  • Until the brown paper parcel landed on my welcome mat
  • Even the pretty secretaries who wouldnt even
  • Let me hang my hat
  • All recognize my handwriting
  • And return to sender as a matter of fact
  • If I were you Id change my name again
  • They dont care what they do to you believe me
  • This is the coronation of the king of thieves
  • His occupation is the king of thieves
  • He can steal more than you can save
  • You can take him on, but youre not that brave
  • Ill tell your fortune in a minute or two
  • I might even tell you what comes next
  • The moguls want a human sacrifice
  • And look at that girl, young hungry and perplexed
  • They took away the best years of her life
  • Ah but its all in good fun
  • And if you kept you nose clean
  • You can laugh now at the caring things theyve done
  • Ill write this story down, but youll never guess the
  • Final twist
  • Blow the whistle on the whole design
  • As they find my name on that fatal mailing list
  • I hear the clatter of a typewriter
  • Another rookie eating up the reams
  • I think its time to place my feet under the desk
  • And put my mark on another mans dreams
  • This is the coronation of the king of thieves
  • And look at that girl
  • Look at that girl
  • Look at that girl
