The Burglars

Lyrics

[Chorus: Avey Tare & Panda Bear] I could be a hare and I'd Sneak into my private rivals Dreaming I'm a burglar Quick as any day in my Fleeting little chest of hopefuls Lost it to the burglars I can be aware and yeah Maybe I'm the same like pirates Likened to the burglars Threat on any day and I'm Hiding from the hare who's also Hiding from the burglars [Verse 1: Avey Tare, Avey Tare & Panda Bear] And I didn't catch his name, pow Shot him on the range, yow 'Cause he was a burglar Happens in the parks, boohoo Even in the old days Stinking of the burglars Happens in my home I never see it coming [Verse 2: Avey Tare & Panda Bear] When I was young We used to put Alarms on our doors and screens Like a burglar net Now that I'm older I'm sure that's absurd That's the word for the man who collects Who's he stealing from next? When I was young My parents yelled "Beware of the ivory man That will steal and sell" Now that I'm older Those words are still pure Not the look of a crook in his books What's he taking from you? [Verse 3: Avey Tare & Panda Bear, Avey Tare] And worried peeps go on about it Say a lot of changes better come A pocket full of change is emptied by A little gawky bright and bubbly bird A lot of heroes out there thinking 'bout it But minutes of their lives are ticking down And bottles full of love are drunken by A tricky trite and thirsty hungry bird Blooming tips on tulip cones that Don't pay out, they keep on growing Costume thieves who never hand back Half of what you end up owing [Refrain: Avey Tare & Panda Bear] Has this town really gotten much better? Are the burglars gonna keep on trying to meddle with it? Has this town really gotten much better? Are the burglars gonna keep on trying to meddle with it? Has this town really gotten much better? Are the burglars gonna keep on trying to meddle with it? Has this town really gotten much better? Are the burglars gonna keep on trying to meddle with it? [Pre-Chorus: Avey Tare] Probably driving your car with someone Close up your head 'cause they Are they reading your letters Come on, pack up the bed for betters [Chorus: Avey Tare & Panda Bear] Stealing from the day, didn't take a second Listened to a record and they got away What you think you own, you don't Sneaky are the burglars (Watch out the burglars) When I cross their way like a helpless chicken Bones will soon be clinking, wearing me for play What you think you own, you don't Bracelet on a burglar (Watch out the burglars) Thought I was okay, not as bad as some Sunset on the slums, see another day What you think you own, you don't Happy are the burglars (Watch out the burglars) Brush it all away or do I let it sink in? Is it my ambition just to turn away? What you think you own, you don't Freedom for the burglars (Watch out the burglars) [Refrain: Avey Tare & Panda Bear] Has this town really got much better since the burglars burden its deliverer? What you think you own, you don't Has this town really got much better since the burglars burden its deliverer? Watch out the burglars Has this town really got much better since the burglars burden its deliverer? What you think you own, you don't Has this town really got much better since the burglars burden its deliverer? Watch out the burglars [Outro: Avey Tare] What you think you own, you don't Watch out the burglars
