Sophisticated Thief LyricsI've chosen stability over passion
Just in the hope that I will get some
Footholds to take me up the successive rungs
To somewhere I am not deserving of
Eyes closed, ridiculous that I'd still get here
With my eyes closed
Sophisticated thief
He's only gone and stolen someone's opportunity
Acquired life chances that come with lifetime guarantees
But it's okay 'cause I'm a sophisticated thief
No, I don’t mean to sound ungratеful
Too heavy to conceal
The jokе of this accessible position
Becomes a bit too real when you're a
Sophisticated thief
Undoubtedly valid investments for society
'Cause who else is going to wake up after the sun's been seen?
And powder every surface sky high into snowy peaks
Prestige is gone thanks to the sophisticated thief
Sophisticated thief
Returns to the scene of the crime for the third time this week
For someone to bring in some justice seeming unlikely
When I've only stolen some life chances I'm guaranteed
But it’s okay 'cause no one longs for what they've never seen
Canned laughter is the only part left that's necessary
To turn this mess up as situational comedy
I'll float about 'til I'm impeached
Quaint, not aggressive, I'm a sophisticated thief
