Thief In The Night

Lyrics

Cover up Cover up tight Your time is coming like a thief in the night Your bones will feel like they're full of broken glass Your soul will feel like it's been to hell and back Paint your face pale jungle green When the world turns to the sun you won't be seen When you can hear the sound of the wind in your ears What seems like minutes will really be years The town cryer can't stop the front page There's a grandfather clock and his hands are full of rage As the pendulum swings and swings He won't be satisfied until he's taken everything Like a Thief in the Night Cover up Cover up now You couln't change it if you wanted anyhow The time is going by oh so fast How long do you think that you can last? The town cryer can't stop the front page There's a grandfather clock and his hands are full of rage As the pendulum swings and swings He won't be satisfied until he's taken everything Like a Thief in the Night
