Lyrics

Masked and dressed in black You scramble over rooftops Carrying a bag, a bag marked swag You're the best jewel thief in the world Vigilance is lax Security complacent Adjacent to the gem, a diadem of pearl Is the best jewel thief in the world Watch your legend grow The rooftops are for dreamers You strike and then return Lucerne–Heathrow The best jewel thief in the world Down below, down below What do any of those losers know? Down below, down below What do any of those assholes know? Even so, even so Be a Buddhist boy and let it go Even so, even so Be a Catholic boy and let it go You're the best jewel thief in the world Sirens moan and drone and groan But Interpol can't catch you The cameras always show a screen of snow Ergo, you're the best jewel thief in the world Down below, down below What do any of those losers know? Down below, down below What do any of those assholes know? Even so, even so Be a Buddhist boy and let it go Even so, even so Be a Catholic boy and let it go You're the best jewel thief in the world Nimble as a cat They hope your luck deserts you They're sharpening their knives, but you have nine lives You're the best jewel thief in the world Watch your legend grow Watch your legend grow Watch your legend grow You're the best jewel thief in the world
