Thieves
Urban Tales of Desire and Deceit
Lyrics
Joey the albino was a man of will
Joey, an albino, is determined and strong-willed.
Made it with his dirty slacks to the top of the hill
Joey overcame challenges, reaching the top of a hill in dirty clothes.
Saliva dripping on the side of his mouth
Joey's excitement is evident, with saliva dripping as he contemplates Westmount houses.
As he wonders what he could find in a Westmount house
Joey wonders about the potential discoveries in a Westmount house.
So he runs through the forest, heart pounding inside
Joey runs through a forest with a pounding heart, emphasizing his vitality.
Lord knows he won’t starve for a day in his life
Despite uncertainties, Joey believes he won't go hungry in his life.
Sometimes you lose baby, sometimes you win
A reminder that life includes both losses and victories.
Get ready honey, I’m gonna move right in
An invitation, possibly romantic or assertive, to be prepared for a significant change.
It’s a shame someone’s gotta trash it, this city’s a looker
Expressing regret about the city's degradation due to vandalism.
It’s too bad I’m living in a world that no one’s a part of
Feeling disconnected from a world that seems uninviting.
Rita was a sucker for cheap leather kicks
Rita is attracted to inexpensive leather footwear.
You can tell by the way she makes her fake heels click
Rita's fake heels audibly indicate her presence.
Staying on the corner waiting for her prey
Rita waits for a potential victim on a street corner.
“Get ready honey, won’t you make my day”
A suggestive line, inviting someone to make her day.
‘Round comes a rich man in a rich man’s truck
A wealthy man in a truck approaches Rita.
“Go ahead honey, won’t you make my luck
The man is eager for luck, asking Rita to contribute.
See, I’ve got a cure for your Navigator blues”
The man believes Rita has a solution for his problems.
She sticks him in the chest and leaves with his alligator shoes
Rita stabs the man, taking his valuable alligator shoes.
It’s a shame someone’s gotta trash it, this city’s a looker
Reiterating the disappointment about the city's degradation.
It’s too bad I’m living in a world that no one’s a part of
Continuing to express a sense of alienation from the world.
Yeah!
An enthusiastic affirmation, possibly expressing frustration or satisfaction.
This city’s a looker!
Repeating the sentiment that the city is visually appealing despite its problems.
All right!
An exclamation of approval or excitement.
Hush!
A command to be quiet or a conclusion to the song.
