Lyrics
Listen Like Thieves
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
On the talk back show
On the radio
At the local bar
In the hot traffic by the red tail lights
Everybody's down on their knees
Listen like thieves
But who needs that
When it's all in your hands
And we take it down
To the end of town
Where they have control
But they're losing touch when the lights go out
Everybody's down on their knees
Listen like thieves for the end signs
But who needs that when you've got it all in your hands
It's all in your hands
It's all in your hands
You are all you need
You are all you need
And that is everything
So don't hesitate
There's no time to waste
You just do it for yourself
