There we were thick as thieves

Frightened by shadows and the autumn leaves

We wore stolen hats, fitted soles

Aided by lies amongst the media foes



And hey oh, where did it go?

When did we lose our sight?

And it's a nice show, the ones we perform

Performing it day and night, night



See the lights upon my face

Walking in circles with the human race

And all the little people they want to be free

But I can't get there 'cause I've got you holding me back



And hey oh, where did it go?

When did we lose our sight?

And it's a nice show, the ones we perform

Performing it day and night, night

Let me be free



Gave you all the high skies but you gave me night

I gave you all the high skies but you gave me night

I gave you all the high skies but you gave me night

I gave you all the high skies but you gave me night

Let the lights sing again



There we were thick as thieves

Frightened by shadows and the autumn leaves

Goodbye my sweet, goodbye, goodbye
