Breaking & Entering

Morning is hours away­
I think they're on vacation
Valuable items on display
In key locations

Black-clad thieves creep around the house
Asleep upstairs: child spouse and spouse
Gaining entry through a broken window
"Hello, we must be home"

And we take the clock off the wall
VCR, silver drawer
Anything worth anything at all

Almost everything is fake
To my expert eyes
Artificial heads of state
A clear batch of lies

A bearskin rug and prescription drugs
A fabled horse that might fool some
It's so popular maybe we'll be the ones
When this is done

And we take the clock off the wall
VCR, silver drawer
Anything worth anything at all

And fill up, boys, with all the lighter things
Don't get weighed down with the stuff you bring
To each article you tightly cling
Make your break when the siren sings (repeat X 3)

And we take the clock off the wall
VCR, silver drawer
Anything worth anything at all

And while they're asleep
When the darkness is deep
Their lives become so cheap

They come down the stairs with bats and hangers
Do their best to try and scare us
And we run out with our bags in tow
The last of us jumps out the window
As we're quickly slipping out of sight
The sirens pierce the darkest night.
