He was brought up like a sailor
A pirate of the streets
Stealing food and booze and dirty magazines
The rainy days come, the rainy days go
The Whiskey, The Liar, The Thief!
She was coddled like a princess
And promised as a bride
Lady Jack-o-lanterns' secret life to hide
So through the window she creep
When her father fell asleep
The Whiskey, The Liar, The Thief!
She bats her eyes and lies about her rent
He used the coin he stole to buy the drinks
Never thought they'd find love
Drowning sorrows at the pub
The Whiskey, The Liar, The Thief!
He never made it on a spoke
She only borrowed from the truth
They were the greatest match that hell had ever seen
But if you reap what you sow
It doesn't matter where you go
The Whiskey, The Liar, The Thief!
She bats her eyes and lies about her rent
(About the rent)
The coin he stole is buying all the drinks
(All the drinks)
It's the devil's first man and a drunken runaway
The Whiskey, The Liar, The Thief!
A round for our two lovers
In this bar stool fairytale
Givin' something for us bastards to believe
You never think you'll find love
Drowning sorrows at the pub
With Whiskey, and Liars, and Thieves!
A toast to those who stole another day
(One more day!)
A round to those who lied to get away
(One more drink?)
And to those who found love
Drowning sorrows at the pub
Some day you'll find love
Drowning sorrows at the pub
Never thought they'd find love
Drowning sorrows at the pub
The Whiskey, The Liar, The Thief!
