i am a stealer,
a thief if you will
you'll find i swindled your money right out of the till

i am a stealer
and proud to say
that i've stolen from those who sleep eat or pray
(and even from those who do all three!)

i've stolen bases and kisses
and unfulfilled wishes
kisses and bases
expressionless faces
i've stolen from june and mars and shooting stars
and even some old stuff from holy places

ah yes, my dear, and i may have stolen a few hearts too
back when i was young and sweet and bright like you

i am a liar,
and you will find - if you're quite honest -
that you are a liar as well.
