Thick as thieves...
Would it kill you the breathe easy?
Only 17 miles lay between you and me,
I could make it if i had to,
I don't break easily,
You got my councel, thick as thieves,
If there's a crime, we'll keep it secret,
For there's only trace amounts left in your blood,
You may be a sinner,
But you may be justified.
Keep your mouth shut,
Keep your guard up,
I swear i'll make it right.
Will it kill me to breathe?
Not as easy as you think it is,
between you and me,
I could fake it if i have to,
I don't break easily,
I need your councel, thick as theives,
I have no crime to keep a secret,
It was hers, it was not mine,
Well i may be a sinner,
But it wasn't me this time.
Just keep your mouth shut,
Keep your guard up,
I swear i'll make it right.
Well, listen to yourself,
There's a hemorrage in your mouth,
It won't stop bleeding,
Well you may be the trigger,
I will hold the smoking gun
You'll get away clean,
I will keep your secrets 'til the grave has swallowed me,
And i will never tell a tortured soul there, burning by my side,
That i am a sinner,
I am a saviour,
I am a lie...
So keep your mouth shut,
Keep your guard up,
And i swear i'll make it right.
