Lyrics
It was a terrible mess
And all that was left
A spilt drink
And some blood on my shirt
And the maddening crowd
Need to settle down
Well, no one moves
And no one gets hurt
Well the race had been run
And all the prettiest ones
Had left before I'd arrived
But I'm a gifted thief
And by the skin of my teeth
I made it out the city alive
It was a god-awful mess
And all that was left
A broken glass
And a flickering light
So with blood on my shoes
And a bottle of booze
A fled the scene of the crime
Well the race had been run
And all the prettiest ones
Had left before I'd arrived
But I'm a gifted thief
And by the skin of my teeth
I made it out the city alive
It was a horrible night
And in the fading light
They stole the sun from my heart
But when the morning came
I was taking names
Down at McNulty's bar
Well the race had been run
And all the prettiest ones
Had left before I'd arrived
But I'm a gifted thief
And by the skin of my teeth
I made it out the city alive
Well the race had been run
And the prettiest one
Had left before I'd arrived
But I'm a gifted thief
And by the skin of my teeth
I said boys you'll never take me alive
