Life of a Thief
A Symphony of Deception: Life on the Run
Lyrics
i got a snakeskin jacket with a chain on my chest
I possess a snakeskin jacket adorned with a chain on my chest.
got the tight brown leather with the bulletproof vest
I have a tight brown leather outfit accompanied by a bulletproof vest.
got the backdoor hustle with a card up my sleeve
I engage in a secretive and cunning strategy, holding an advantage up my sleeve.
if you're lookin for the crime then you're lookin for me, so come on
If you are seeking criminal activity, you're looking for me; come and find me.
i'm in and out sharp like salt on your tongue
I move swiftly and incisively, akin to the sharp taste of salt on your tongue.
with the slip screen vision and my hand on my gun
I possess keen perception and keep my hand on my gun for protection.
there's a conflagration wherever i come
Controversy and chaos follow me wherever I go.
if you see smoke rise it's already begun
If you notice smoke rising, the disturbance has already started.
hey hey, come come on
A call to attention or encouragement, inviting someone to join.
get me i'll be gone gone
If you try to catch me, I'll have disappeared.
you're falling back & you trail behind
You're retreating, and I leave you behind.
and you will not catch what you cannot find
You cannot apprehend what you cannot locate or understand.
blaze through reno, toss the bag on the drop
Rapidly pass through Reno, dropping a bag while keeping an eye out for the police.
at the el dorado lookin out for the cops
At El Dorado, I stay vigilant for law enforcement.
got the black bag waitin, pick it up at the well
I have a concealed bag ready, picking it up at the well.
hit the asphalt runnin like a bat outta hell
Run on the asphalt like a bat out of hell.
i got 42 hound dogs hot on my trail
42 hound dogs are chasing me, but I'll be a ghost by sunset, safely on the railway.
i'll be a ghost by sunset safe on the rail
I will escape and remain undetected.
it's a prime time play & you better believe
A significant and successful operation, emphasizing the thrill of the criminal life.
it's a damn fine day in the life of a thief
It's a great day in the life of a thief, highlighting the excitement and success of a criminal lifestyle.
hey hey, come come on
A repetition of the earlier invitation or call to attention.
get me i'll be gone gone
If you try to catch me, I will have vanished.
you're falling back & you trail behind
You're falling behind, unable to keep up.
and you will not catch what you cannot find
You cannot capture something that eludes your understanding or detection.
