Lyrics

Guide-less baby burglar Where are you heading to? How could you be so selfish? How can you be so cruel? Following in the footsteps of your mentor Not knowing how you've Broken all the rules Adrift on your ship of fools Aimlessly you turn your blind eye To all that's in your path upside down Oblivious in your destruction Turning other hopes into Dying embers and their ashes into dust Oh, baby burglar I once trod in your creeping footsteps Going equipped into the night If I were to turn This weapon upon you Who would be wrong? Who would right? Well, Jesus Christs sake, baby burglar Where will this wanton action end? Under the wheels of a crazy horse Dragged off in a moment of madness Oh, baby burglar I once trod in your creeping footsteps Oh, baby burglar I once trod in your creeping footsteps Your cause of action, so easily avoided Not even your god himself could defend What a tragic mess we are in, baby burglar Their grief will tear and consume, but will never end Faith and time shall prevail over all It's bright shining light will find wrong from right Offer you a lifetime to ponder Think this tragedy through Oh, baby burglar I once trod in your creeping footsteps Oh, small-time murderer May God forgive your misguided steps Baby burglar Baby burglar Baby burglar
