Lyrics
Way up in the mountains
There's a thief that lives around us
Taking down everybody that he sees
He pretends that he's your friend
Meets your momma shakes your hand
Then he steals from everybody that he meets
He says take here and swallow
It will melt all your sorrows
Yeah the first hit that's on me
But the next will cost the rest of you, you see
Ohhhhhhh
Ohhhh
High up in the hillside
Can't nobody hide
From the thief that steals from you in broad daylight
Everybody knows
He's the devil in street clothes
When you see him, you better run for your life
He says take here and swallow
It will melt all your sorrows
Yeah the first hit that's on me
But the next will cost the rest of you, you see
Ohhhhhhh
Ohhhh
Way out in the suburbs
Daddy mourns his son
Taken by the thief on the run
But when daddy saw his street clothes
He decided to get equal
And the thief was put down at 21
Daddy said take here and swallow
Cause today’s your last tomorrow
Yeah the first hit, that's on me
But the next will cost the rest of you, you see
Ohhhhhhh
Ohhhh
