Jeffrey Martin - Thief And A Liar Lyrics

Jeffrey Martin Lyrics

"Thief And A Liar"

Starting with a little off the top from the corner store
Funny thing about a little is you always want more
I stole the nickel in my pocket and I'm gonna go far
Now I'm robbing the graves in my own backyard

I am a thief and a liar and the very worst kind
Oh, I sail unto the broken and I rob them blind
I will build you a house with my own two hands
And then burn it to the ground as quick as I can

As quick as I can
As quick as I can

I have to lie to go to bed and lie to wake up
To forget the voices of the dead you gotta play tough
I am suits and ties and cocaine crazy within
And I will look you in the eyes when I do you in
I am suits and ties and cocaine crazy within
And I will look you in the eyes when I do you in

I am a thief and a liar and the very worst kind
Oh, I sail unto the broken and rob them blind
I will build you a house with my own two hands
And then burn it to the ground as quick as I can

As quick as I can
As quick as I can

There's a 99% going to wake up and see
Power is your finger on the trigger not a head full of dreams
There's a 99% going to wake up and see
Power is your finger on the trigger not a head full of dreams

I am a thief and a liar and the very worst kind
Oh, I sail unto the broken and rob them blind
I will build you a house with my own two hands
And then burn it to the ground as quick as I can

As quick as I can
As quick as I can
As quick as I can
