Pickpocket

Picked you out my pocket, and you fell into the road

You asked me if I'd make it better

Asked me if we could grow old together

But you don't mean a thing to me

So I'll walk by quite happily

And now I guess that you've moved on as well

Took me to the bricks

You start to build a wall

Keep peace intact

Protect your family

Keep them from harm

Live peacefully, but they came crumbling down

The second you left town

And now your family are gone, are gone

Understand me, take me, fully

Underground where I can not be found

Understand me, take me, fully

Underground where I can not be found

And a letter that you wrote

That had been stashed inside my wall

Telling me all about your life

It had been there for a quite a while

It skipped out certain chapters

That I thought had really mattered

And now I feel like I missed out

Out, baby out, get out of town

Baby out, baby out, get out

Baby out, baby out, get out of town

Before it catches up with you

And you cannot withstand

Before it catches up with you

And you cannot withstand

Before it catches up with you

And you cannot withstand
