The Thief by Radiohead
(Cover Can)
Why must I be the thief?
Why must I be the thief?
Oh Lord please won't you tell me
Why must I be the thief?
Why must I be the thief?
He asked of the hanging man
And how come you're the only one
That's black around, that always stares
Why must I be the thief?
He asked to the hanging man
And how come you're the only one
Who gives me open arms?
Why must I be the thief
He cursed and then he cried
And the hanging man held out his hand
And looked beyond his scars
The thief was drawn to the cross
To share that other's fate
But the Jesus man says "Not now"
"My brother not now, it's far too late"
