The Heist Lyrics by A Boy and His Kite

A Boy and His Kite

2012

[Intro]
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
[Verse 1]
How much longer 'til this safe is cracked?
My feet are cold and my hands are shaking bad
And how much longer 'til the cops arrive?
To point their guns to catch us in a crime
[Chorus]
And we’ve tried our best
To conceal the threat
That in time the law will catch us where we sleep
And we’ve tried our best
To conceal the threats
That in time the law will see us to our knees
[Refrain]
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
And how much longer 'til this engine starts?
My heart is racing like a cannon ball
And how much longer 'til we get away?
And drive our crime through a different state
[Chorus]
We’ve tried our best
To conceal the threat
That in time the law will catch us where we sleep
And we’ve tried our best
To conceal the threats
That in time the law will see us to our knees
[Verse 3]
How much longer 'til this safe is cracked?
My feet are cold and my hands are shaking bad
How much longer 'til our luck is dry?
'Til you point your gun and shoot me in the side
[Chorus]
And I’ve tried my best
To forget your threats
That in time your bullet would find its way in me
And I’ll try my best
To hold my breath
In time the law will find me where I bleed
