Petty Thieves On Trial Lyrics

Guess it's the weekend

The kids have long left for school

He's making dinner

Sets the table for two

Lights up the candles

Serves his face up for a kiss

Sets an alarm for early morning

Tomorrow's trip a sign of peace

Sings her a love song

No one know who it is for

As he wails, she moves around the room

Always staring at the floor

He says it's heaven

The way we ended up like this

But in his mind he is a-tripping

Gravity it sinks

There's something missing

Even though we're kissing hard

I've got a feeling

But it's not love

There ain't no ending

No one's coming bailing us out

We're just hanging here

For a while

Like petty thieves on trial

Then there's silence

For a hundred miles or more

You turn the radio on

They're still talking about the war

Somehow she's smiling

Her eyes still nailed to the floor

You've been gentle and kind

But she is need of something more

There's something missing

Even though we're making out

I've got a feeling

But it's not lust

There ain't no ending

No one's coming bailing us out

We're just hanging here

For a while

Like petty thieves on trial

Now comes the sentence

You both face the judge of all

Time - It is the great oppressor

A libertarian of lost souls

It'll surely bail you out

Scot-free you'll be under a stone

So you better unbuckle fast

Lest your time soon will be gone

There's something missing

Even though we're playing house

I've got a feeling

But it's not us

There ain't no ending

No one's coming bailing us out

We're just hanging here

For a while

Like petty thieves on trial
