Baby Burglar

(album: Theatre Of The Absurd presents C'est La Vie - 2023)

Guide-less baby burglar
Where are you heading to?
How could you be so selfish
How can you be so cruel

Following in the footsteps of your mentor
Not knowing how you've
Broken all the rules
Adrift on your ship of fools

Aimlessly you turn your blind eye
To all that's in your path upside down
Oblivious in your destruction
Turning other hopes into...
Dying embers, and their ashes into dust

Oh baby burglar
I once trod in your creeping foot steps

Going equipped into the night
If I were to turn
This weapon upon you
Who would be wrong, who would right?

Well, Jesus Christs sake baby burglar
Where will this wanton action end
Under the wheels of a crazy horse
Dragged off in a moment of madness

Oh baby burglar
I once trod in your creeping foot steps

Oh baby burglar
I once trod in your creeping foot steps

Your cause of action, so easily avoided
Not even your god himself could defend
What a tragic mess we are in baby burglar
Their grief will tear and consume but will never end

Faith and time shall prevail over all
It's bright shining light
Will find wrong from right
Offer you a life time to ponder
Think this tragedy through

Oh baby burglar
I once trod in your creeping foot steps
Oh, small time murderer
May god forgive your misguided steps

Oh baby burglar
Oh baby burglar
Oh baby burglar
