this tune came from the combination of a lyric idea Johnny sent me & the fact that i had just been doing some multi-track experimentation and came up with this music. after reading the lyric i thought wow what a great fit. thus a song was born. for singing flow purposes there are a few changes but it's basically it --- i posted Johnny's original lyric.
Johnny - lyrics
DrumGuy (Mark Cole) - drums
rightonthemark (Mark Shrider) - music, guitar, bass, vocals, mix
everybody hates a thief
(vs)
if you could see him in the dark, he'd be smiling
Twisted lips, steel ball bearing eyes
if you listen to him talk, you'll say beguiling
greasy bits of truth wrapped up in lies
put your hand on his heart, feel the beating
the dead thump of a cold-blooded pump
worms inside his soul are slowly eating
likes a maggot blow feeds on a fecal dump
(ch)
....ev'rybody hates a thief
trust is how they creep into your life
Even a thief, hates a thief
back-stabbing rat just stole your knife
(vs)
in-between the shadows he comes crawling
carefully, and lightly where he treads
breaks a lock and slithers down your hallway
dark as any nightmare in your head
if you could see him in the dark, he'll be smiling
as any wolf who lies among the sheep
the visions in his mind sees you crying
as he steals you blind while your fast asleep
(ch)
....ev'rybody hates a thief
trust is how they creep into your life
Even a thief, hates a thief
back-stabbing rat just stole your knife!
(br)
He rifles thru the drawers of my possesions
Steals the plans of all my future dreams
spook of a soul who lives by his obsessions
money, power and pornographic greed
(ch)
....ev'rybody hates a thief
trust is where how they creep into your life
Even a thief, hates a thief
back-stabbing rat just stole your knife
