Minus the Bear - The Thief

You’ve got a rich dad
who hates every boy like me
I’ve got no money
and daddy don’t like my ease

I wanna steal you like a pearl
I wanna display you like a diamond

Let me take you
to a beach in Alicanté
Sleep on the strand
to the breath of España’s sea
until you stray

Should I find you’re not around
I would surely chase you down
lure you in with a lonely sound
and then I’ll have you

I’m gonna steal you like a pearl
I’m gonna display you like a diamond

Do I awake alone?
a five dollar bill
in yesterday’s clothes
on the floor of a room off Calle Mayor
that a better man paid for

Should I find you’re not around
I would surely chase you down
lure you in with a lonely sound
and then I’ll have you

I’m gonna steal you like a pearl
I’m gonna display you like a diamond

You got a real shine
set in fool’s gold
I am the fool
Your pearls are plastic
and diamonds glass
Now I’m alone

Should I find you’re not around
I would surely chase you down
lure you in with a lonely sound
and then I’ll have you
