Lyrics
There's a thief on the cross his chances are slim
There's a thief on the cross I wanna talk to him

Well everybody's been diverted
Everybody's looking the other way
Everybody's attention is divided
Well they may not afford to wait
There's a thief on the cross his chances are slim
There's a thief on the cross I wanna talk to him

Wanna ask him 'bout his mother
Wanna ask him 'bout his ways
Wanna ask him 'bout to talk to himself
If it's time it didn't go too well
There's a thief on the cross his chances are slim
There's a thief on the cross I wanna talk to him

Well, everybody's not too excited
Don't be too surprised
Head for the town and you can see it well
And it's rising in his eyes
There's a thief on the cross his chances are slim
There's a thief on the cross I wanna talk to him

Now there's winning, ruling and readin'
Everybody goes sinning by the rules
There's a secret to excite you
Whether Iran or Mexico
There's a thief on the cross his chances are slim
There's a thief on the cross I wanna talk to him
