Song for a Thief Lyrics

	作词 : Shawn Phillips
	作曲 : Shawn Phillips
	Now you tried to take me higher,
	But you only brought me down,
	Now you're dancing in the mirror
	With your self inflicted frown
	You chose to use betrayal
	As your final Tour De Force
	And you did the same with another name
	And you showed us your true colors
	Will you feel the shame when you play this game
	With other friends and surely others
	And gradually you'll realize
	That karma wants it's druthers
	So you can't complain when you feel the pain
	And hopefully remorse
	Will your bulging purse remove the curse
	That you got when you found the source
	A momentary windfall
	From a well that was going dry
	Will it drive you nuts till you find the guts
	To ask yourself the why?
	Now I'm soaring with my freedom
	And there's only one way up
	And the weight is gone that was holding on
	And never really filled my cup
	You lost all your ambition
	And you moved to paradise
	Did you find a place to hide your face
	From the ones you cast asunder
	But it really doesn't matter
	'Cause you'll never get away
	From the sound of all that thunder
	But the outside doesn't matter
	Inside you've got that hole
	And the shadows keep on swirling
	In the darkness of your soul
	But you don't think that's important
	'Cause you know that you got your gold
	And it really doesn't matter
	That you lost a trusting friend
	You'll have to live with all of that
	Until you meet your end.
