The smile that you fake
Turns me cold inside
The paths that you take
Always slip and slide
No more of your twisting
And your cheapskate scams
So much has gone missing
Makes you ashamed to call yourself a man
You used to be sugar
But you′ve gone real sour on me
Now your finger's on the trigger
It′s your third tough scene
The engine that you drive
Is running out of dreams
The eagle that you ride
You don't know where it's been
The danger that you crave
Is getting out of sight
You ain′t the home of the brave, no
You′re just a thief in the night
The plans that you brew
Make the echoes moan
There'll be more than a few
I won′t be coming home
Ain't no use complaining
About that import scab
I can′t see you could strain
To put it back inside the bag
You're gonna be crashing
Somewhere down a lonely street
The checks you′ve been cashing
Are gonna knock you off your feet
The engine that you drive
Is running out of dreams
The eagle that you ride
You don't know where it's been
The danger that you crave
Is getting out of sight
You ain′t the home of the brave
Just a thief in the night
You′re gonna be crashing
Somewhere down a lonely street
The checks you've been cashing
Are gonna knock you off your feet
The target that you seek
Ain′t looking for a fight
No savior of the meek
Just a thief in the night
The engine that you drive
Is running out of dreams
The eagle that you ride, yeah
You don't know where it′s been
The danger that you crave
Is getting out of sight
You ain't the home of the brave
Just a thief in the night
A thief in the night
