Thieves Like Us

I've watched your face for a long time

It's always the same

I've studied the cracks and the wrinkles

You were always so vain

Well, now you live your life like a shadow

In the pouring rain

Oh, it's called love

Yes, it's called love

Oh, it's called love

And it belongs to us

Oh, it dies so quickly

It grows so slowly

But when it dies, it dies for good

It's called love

And it belongs to everyone but us



I've lived my life in the valleys

I've lived my life on the hills

I've lived my life on alcohol

I've lived my life on pills

But it's called love

And it belongs to us

It's called love

And it's the only thing that's worth living for

It's called love

And it belongs to us

It's called love

Yes it's called love



Oh, love is found in the east and west

But when love is at home, it's the best

Love is the cure for every evil

Love is the air that supports the eagle

It's called love

And it's so un-cool

It's called love

And somehow it's become unmentionable

It's called love

And it belongs to every one of us

It's called love

And it cuts your life like a broken knife
