Thick as Thieves

In the dead of the night, I tell you, “Come with me.”

You throw on some clothes and go grab your keys.

Four headlights flash through the empty night;

A trail of roses is the only thing we leave behind.

 

Now the sun is up, all the mannequins are stripped bare!

Their jewels are pinned on us, so are their laser stares.

A distant siren sounds just as our wings pull for flight,

The thrill of the chase chases us into a place they can’t find.

 

Our furtive glances trace a road as crooked as our love,

As we ooh and ah over the treasures in our trove.

Your head’s on my shoulder, your hand is on my thigh,

We’re drifting off together just before they arrive.

 

The sound travels before the light, an electric scream;

The beacons surrounding us stop us right in between.

Matching grey bracelets, now we’re headed behind bars,

Eyes drawing schemes of escaping under the stars.

 

The sky blushes pink as two tired bodies climb out,

Outfly the vultures, always on the lookout.

Sleep with an eye open on a bright day,

Dreaming about the diamonds we’ll wear today.
