Thief Without The Take

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.

Jeff duets with Inger Lorre and plays guitar on this

song, contained in Inger Lorre's album Trascendental

medication.

Oh baby didn't you hear?

I'm goin' solo dear,

so low dear

I am the thief without the take

I'm swallowing the bitterest pill

totally ever so against my will

I am the thief without the take,

I am the thief without the take,

everytime I try to do my art

always fallin' apart,

fallin' apart

I am the thief without the take,

I am the thief without the take,

I'm the desert without sun

five minus one diamond without shine

I'm the poem that doesn't rhyme

I'm the king on the hill

sick and ill

nothin' I wouldn't trade to be the serving knave

I'm the sun without heat

the drum without the beat

I'm the winter without snow

flame without a glow

I am the thief without the take,

I am the thief without the take

everytime I try to do my art

always fallin' apart,

fallin' apart

I am the thief without the take,

I am the thief without the take

I've stolen from myself too too long

it's just the music makes me want to go on
