about a man from pennsylvania
do you promise to keep it
locked away in a safe for goodness sake
it was never mine to take
but i heard from a thief in chicago
who stole it from a waitress at the bay
who read it on the lips of a stranger
who learned to write fiction from his mother in monterey
got a story about a man in massachusetts
and if you ever do meet him
you would never know his face from another
baby he'll give you a penny
for your thoughts and a dime for your story
you heard from a thief in chicago
about a man from pennsylvania
it was never mine to take
but i heard from a thief in chicago
who stole it from a waitress at the bay
who read it on the lips of a stranger
it was never mine to take
but i heard from a thief in chicago
who stole it from a waitress at the bay
but you read it on the lips of a stranger
who learned to write fiction from his mother in monterrey
can you ever trust what you hear
would you play a game of telephone
so i preach it from the pulpit
like you heard a straight no chaser from
it was never yours to take
but i heard from a thief in chicago
who stole it from a waitress at the bay
who read it on the lips of a stranger
it was never yours to take
but i heard from a thief in
who stole it from a waitress at the bay
who read it on the lips of a stranger
who learned to write fiction from his mother in monterrey
