A Robbery

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Three days and a bed for recovery Two years in a cell for a robbery Twenty-seven, I have seen a funny dancing little dream Rising shiver on my skin and flying up above my pillow [Verse 2] Two hours with the summer rising mercury Fifteen minutes catching crickets from a rising tree Twenty-seven I have seen many summers on the screen Many fires burning clean boulevards from my window [Verse 3] All you servants at the door, listen to your king Bow your head and be quiet as the emperor sings Twenty-seven I have seen both the devil and the Queen Goin' to heaven on a green brush stolen from my kitchen
