"Thieves In the Temple"
Love come quick
Love come in a hurry
There's thieves in the temple tonight
They don't care where they kick
Just as long as they hurt you
There're thieves in the temple tonight
Love, if you're there come save me
From all this cold despair
I can hang when you're around
But I should die if you're not there
Love come quick
Love come in a hurry
There're thieves in the temple tonight
Feel like I'm looking for my soul
Like a poor man looking for gold
There're thieves in the temple tonight
Voices from the sky say
Rely on your best friend to pull you through
Even if I wanted to
I couldn't really truly
Because my only friend is you
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Come on
There're thieves in the temple tonight
Kicking me in my heart
Tearing me, tearing me, tearing me, tearing me all apart
Because me and you could've been a work of art
Thieves in the temple
Baby don't you know I'm holding on the best that I can
Love please help me be a better man
Better than the thieves in the temple tonight, in the temple tonight
Oh, thieves in the temple tonight (hurt me)
Love come quick
Love come in a hurry
There're thieves in the temple tonight
Thieves in the temple, oh
"You said you loved me!"
(Thieves in the temple)
"You said I was your man!"
(Thieves in the temple)
(Love come quick)
"But they were lies! Lies!"
(Love come in a hurry)
Thieves in the temple tonight
"Ah!"
