Why must I always
Follow the fatal call
You carry me down
Then you lock my doors
I'm left in an empty room
Waiting for truth
He'll be here soon
And his face is tired and worn
A fading star in the dawn
Like thieves
We live our lives to please
Like thieves
Slowly I'm learning
What I should value most
I'm in remission
I'm a living ghost
Blind faith I've learnt to hide
A vast cathedral deep inside
There's so much that I don't need
I just want to believe
Like thieves
We live our lives to please
Like thieves
And all the world's a mess
Saving art there's nothing left
Don't try to understand
Steal some joy if you can
Like thieves
We live our lives to please
Like thieves
Follow the fatal call
You carry me down
Then you lock my doors
I'm left in an empty room
Waiting for truth
He'll be here soon
And his face is tired and worn
A fading star in the dawn
Like thieves
We live our lives to please
Like thieves
Slowly I'm learning
What I should value most
I'm in remission
I'm a living ghost
Blind faith I've learnt to hide
A vast cathedral deep inside
There's so much that I don't need
I just want to believe
Like thieves
We live our lives to please
Like thieves
And all the world's a mess
Saving art there's nothing left
Don't try to understand
Steal some joy if you can
Like thieves
We live our lives to please
