I could be a hare and I'd
sneak into my private rivals dreaming I'm a burglar
Quick as any day in my
fleeting little chest of hopefuls
lost it to the burglars
I can be aware and ya
maybe I'm the same like pirates
likened to the burglars

Threat on any day and I'm
hiding from the hare who's also
hiding from the burglars
And I didn't get his name pow
shot him on the range yow
'cause he was a burglar
Happens in the parks boohoo
even in the old days stinking of the burglars
Happens in my home I never see it coming

When I was young
we used to put
alarms on our doors
and screens like a burglar net now that
I'm older I'm sure that's absurd
that's the word for the man
who collects who's he stealing from next

When I was young my parents yelled
beware of the ivory man that will steal and sell now that
I'm older those words are still pure
not the look of a crook in his books what's he taking from you?

And worried peeps go on about it
Say a lot of changes better come
A pocket full of change is emptied by
A little gawky bright and bubbly bird

Lots of heroes out there thinking bout it
but minutes of their lives are ticking down
And bottles full of love are drunken by
a tricky trite and thirsty hungry bird

Blooming tips on tulip cones that
Don't pay out they keep on growing
Costume thieves who never hand
back half of what you end up owing
Has this town really gotten much better
Are the burglars gonna keep on trying to meddle with it?
Has this town really gotten much better
are the burglars gonna keep on trying to meddle with it?
Has this town really gotten much better
are the burglars gonna keep on trying to meddle with it?
Has this town really gotten much better
are the burglars gonna keep on trying to meddle with it?

Probably driving your car with someone
Close up your head 'cause they
are reading your letters
come on pack up the bed for betters

Stealing from the day
Didn't take a second
Listened to a record
And they got away sneaky are the burglars

When I cross their way like a helpless chicken bones
Will soon be clinkin' wearing me for play bracelet on a burglar

Thought I was OK
not as bad as some and sunset
on the slums see another day happy are the burglars

Brush it all away or do I let it sink in?
Is it my ambition just to turn away?
Freedom for the burglars

Now what I got is bad as the burglars bring to the room
Still all I got is bad as the burglars bring to the room
But still what I got is bad as the burglars bring to the room
But still what I got is bad as the burglars bring to the room

What you think you own you don't watch out the burglars
