Gentlemen Thieves

Jackpot, Tiger


Let's point our shoes down the avenue
While the moon makes tracks above.
And let's lose ourselves in the sounds of a city
That's busy falling in love.

And I never once no I never claimed to be
The man anyone dreamed of
But, oh, I hope
Yeah, I hope that I'll do for now.

Right now.

See now I'm aware that I may lack that swagger
That all you college girls these days seem to be after.
But in the din of the bar amidst the shouting and the laughter
Oh, face to face, I will make my case to you somehow.

Well, I bet you get this song and dance from every other guy.
But, oh, the way you cut those bangs and how you frame those eyes.
You've got me like

Oh, goddamn.
I think I'm done for.

Now every minute I spend trying to talk to you fills up with missed opportunities.
Cause after all I'm just a boy who seems to talk about more than he achieves.
And you're just a girl at a bar beset by gentlemen thieves
All saying sweet things and plotting schemes to steal your heart.

So I'll stumble and I'll stammer
Get a little shit-hammered
Trying to think of how to break the ice.
Well here's the trick you can't come off like a dick
But no one's going home with the nice guys
So I'm like

Oh, goddamn
I think I'm done for.

I'm gonna get her
This little hipster.
Lean in with a cigarette
And whisper something eloquent.
This tall drink of water's
Just been sweating on the counter
Waiting for someone to come along
And show a little ill intent.
I ain't a pro
But I'm not new to the game.
Never learned to speak the language
But I read it okay.
So if you could just ignore
The stupid shit that I say
And focus on the sentiment.

How'd I end up here again?
I'll never understand.
I mean aren't girls supposed to dig you
When you're standing at the front of the band?

Oh, goddamn.
I think I'm done for.
