burglar

sneaking

creeping

i'm hiding in the shadows of life

ruthless

truthless

like a hungry hyena i steal to deny

sooner or later

i might pay you a call

and while you are sleeping

i'll be climbing your wall

in the darkest dreams

you'll see me in your eye

you won't know who i am

in my bare-faced disguise

devious

mischievous

the only way to go on the street

ungrateful

i'm hateful

i'll take the shirt off you back and those shiny boots from your feet

sooner or later

i might pay you a call

and while you are sleeping

i'll be climbing your wall

don't ever drop your guard

when you think it's okay

i'll leave you my calling card

when i've been down your way

breaking

taking

i'm up at your window frame

it's open

i'm in there

by the time i have finished you would wish you'd have taken more care

sooner or later

i might pay you a call

and while you are sleeping

i'll be climbing your wall

i am the curse of ages

i'm at a loss alone

until the end of time

i will be doing you wrong

sneaking

creeping

lying

cheating

hiding

the shadows of life

truthless

ruthless

the shadows of life

sneaking

creeping

the shadows of life

lying

cheating

hiding

truthless

ruthless
