There we were thick as thieves   Frightened by shadows and the autumn leaves   We wore stolen hats, fitted soles   Aided by lies amongst the media foes      And hey oh, where did it go?   When did we lose our sight?   And it's a nice show, the ones we perform   Performing it day and night, night      See the lights upon my face   Walking in circles with the human race   And all the little people they want to be free   But I can't get there 'cause I've got you holding me back      And hey oh, where did it go?   When did we lose our sight?   And it's a nice show, the ones we perform   Performing it day and night, night   Let me be free      Gave you all the high skies but you gave me night   I gave you all the high skies but you gave me night   I gave you all the high skies but you gave me night   I gave you all the high skies but you gave me night   Let the lights sing again      There we were thick as thieves   Frightened by shadows and the autumn leaves   Goodbye my sweet, goodbye, goodbye
