Intro

 

Verse 1

When you think about it, he's watching every word you
say - yeah, dazed then
When he's sussed you out, he calls her up and out she comes and
hustles us 

Pre-Chorus

Long digging
Gone fishing
Love drinking

Chorus

The bartender and the thief are lovers
Steal what they need like sisters and brothers
Met in a church, a night to remember
Robbing the graves of bodies dismembered

Verse 2

He watched the lesbian talk, she kissed and groped but mostly talked
In lust - crushed 
He couldn't make the call, his eyes were gripped on licking tongues
Enough's enough, failed for once

Pre-Chorus

Long digging
Gone fishing
Love drinking

Chorus

The bartender and the thief are lovers
Steal what they need like sisters and brothers
Met in a church, a night to remember
Robbing the graves of bodies dismembered

Solo

 
D F D F - with riff

Pre-Chorus

long digging
gone fishing
love drinking

Chorus

The bartender and the thief are lovers
Steal what they need like sisters and brothers
Met in a church, a night to remember
Robbing the graves of bodies dismembered
Saved what they stole to meet at the altar
Place where they first set eyes on each other
Flew to the sun to start life all over
Set up a bar and robbed all the locals
