robbers

cold war kids

sulking

walking round' the city after dark

need protection

from street toughs who clip the locks and rip the doors off rough

like cowards

oh this life of glorified

robbing from the blind is not easy

you see

don't think i don't know sympathy

my victims in my shadow staring back at me

not me

i'm knockin

tiptoe outside a stranger's door casually let myself in

fill pockets with trinkets

purses

china

antique armoire

oh this life of glorified

robbing from the blind is not easy

you see

don't think i don't know sympathy

my victims in my shadow staring back at me

there's robbers in my thoughts!

they tell me what to think

they're hiding in my clothes

crawling in the kitchen sink
