Radiohead - Thief (Live) lyrics
[Radiohead - Thief Live lyrics]
Why must I be the thief?
Why must I be the thief?
Oh Lord please won't you tell me
Why must I be the thief?
Why must I be the thief
He said to the hanging man
And how come you're the only one
That's better off, and always stares
Why must I be the thief?
He asked of the hanging man
And how come you're the only one
Who gives me an open hand
Why must I be the thief?
He cursed and then he cried
And the hanging man held out his hand
And looked beyond the sky
The thief that climbed the cross
"We should have shared that other's fate"
But the Jesus man said "Not now"
"My brother, not now, it's far too late!"
(far too late)
Do what you must take what you can
Steal the pride from every heart
Every angered man i am the thief!
I am the thief! And you will run
Yes and you will hide but I'll get you then
Yes I will
Because of you, because it's justified
I will get you yet cause it's justified
I will get you yet it's justified
I will get you yet it's justified
Why must I be the thief?
Oh Lord please won't you tell me
Why must I be the thief?
Why must I be the thief
He said to the hanging man
And how come you're the only one
That's better off, and always stares
Why must I be the thief?
He asked of the hanging man
And how come you're the only one
Who gives me an open hand
Why must I be the thief?
He cursed and then he cried
And the hanging man held out his hand
And looked beyond the sky
The thief that climbed the cross
"We should have shared that other's fate"
But the Jesus man said "Not now"
"My brother, not now, it's far too late!"
(far too late)
Do what you must take what you can
Steal the pride from every heart
Every angered man i am the thief!
I am the thief! And you will run
Yes and you will hide but I'll get you then
Yes I will
Because of you, because it's justified
I will get you yet cause it's justified
I will get you yet it's justified
I will get you yet it's justified
