Lyrics
Oh, Jawbone, when did you first go wrong, oh
Jawbone, where is it you belong
Three time loser, said I'd never learn
But I'd bide my time now, fore I'll ever wait my turn
I see those demons, I don't look them in the face
I don't push those problems away
I just keep them at an arms length
Baby, I'm a thief and I dig it
Out on the streets, I'm gonna sing it
Well I'm a thief and I dig it, Yeah
I creep through the night, up on my toes
By the look in my eye, you'd say it never shows
You got your name, written on the postoffice wall
Well that puts you on edge now, cause they wrote it too small
Baby, I'm a thief and I dig it
Out on the streets, I'm gonna sing it
Well I'm a thief and I dig it
Oh, Jawbone, when did you first go wrong, oh
Jawbone, don't you think its time you went home
Oohwee, You don't it now man
You got a guy on the inside and he likes your plan
You kick in the door, draw your gun came ready for your assault
All the while I slide through the crowd and
Come creepin' right out the vault
Baby, I'm a thief and I dig it
Out on the streets, I'm gonna sing it
Well I'm a thief and I dig it, yeah
