Chapter 9: Thieves In The Night

You better lock it up tight,

Cause like thieves in the night,

They'll come and they'll take it.

Tail 'em, they'll shake it.

Catch them, cage them, they'll break out.

Cut out their tongues, and they'll still shout.

You can try to catch them,

Send armies to fetch 'em,

But they'll just take flight,

Cause they're thieves —

Thieves in the night!

Better lock it up tight,

Cause like thieves in the night,

They'll come and they'll take it.

Tail 'em, they'll shake it.

Catch them, cage them, they'll break out.

Cut out their tongues, and they'll still shout.

No lock can block them.

No trick can fool them.

No door can stop them.

No guard can school them.

They're thieves —

Thieves in the night!

You can lock them up tight,

But they'll still take flight,

Cause they're...

You can catch 'em, cage them,

Send armies to fetch them,

But you can't keep them,

You can't break them,

Cause they're...

Cut out their tongues,

They'll still shout,

Cause they're...

Lock them up,

They'll just get out,

Cause they're...

They know what's wrong,

They do what's right,

They know they're in

A losing fight.

You can try to avoid them,

Lock your sins up tight,

But you can't break them,

Cause they are thieves —

Thieves in the night!
