Two Thieves

One was from the east
 The other from the west
 And I don't claim to know, either one of them's the best
 But I know an angle man when I see one
 Your humour just as black
 As the bruises on your arms
 What you lacked in skills, you made up for with your charms
 You said it was just some new infection
 But if the two of you had met
 Both your mothers would have wept
 Two peas in a pod
 Or just two thieves on the nod
 You stole your education
 While the students were asleep
 You laughed at history up in blankets and sank it in the deep
 You said what's saved was worth perfection
 You were my ambassador
 To a world that didn't care
 Bad luck on your side mirrored shades and dirty hair
 When I look, all I see is my own reflection
 But if the two of you had met
 Both your mothers would have wept
 Two peas in a pod
 Or just two thieves on the nod
 ♪
 Well, they twitched and they winked
 You would show me we are thick as thieves
 But you empty out my wallet and my ashtray as you leave
 Did you forget that I was your only friend?
 Two months on the road
 And I don't know how to say goodbye
 Maybe I should bury all those memories of you
 But I don't ever want to see them die
 But if the two of you had met
 Both your mothers would have wept
 Two peas in a pod
 Or just two thieves on the nod
 Or just two thieves on the nod
