Robbed & Ravished

Lyrics

[Intro]
Midnight on the dial.
The latch clicks.
I’ve been waiting for this.

[Verse 1]
You didn't knock, you just slipped past the lock
A shadow ignoring the tick of the clock
Don't need a mask when the motive is known
I’ve laid out the valuables here in my home
You tell me to freeze, but I'm melting apart
With my hands in the air and a threat to my heart.

[Chorus]
So go ahead, take it, I’m putting up no fight
Clean out the vault in the middle of the night
You want the silver? The secrets? The rush?
Leave me with nothing but a lingering touch.
I'm robbed and ravished, completely undone
Held up by a look, like a kiss from a gun.

[Verse 2]
I left the safe combination right by the lamp
Next to that priceless 1942 stamp
Go through my pockets, whatever you want
The thrill of the theft is a dangerous taunt
Tie up my loose ends, dictate the terms
I’m paying a ransom while the whole building burns.

[Chorus]
So go ahead, take it, I’m putting up no fight
Clean out the vault in the middle of the night
You want the silver? The secrets? The rush?
Leave me with nothing but a lingering touch.
I'm robbed and ravished, completely undone
Held up by a look, like a kiss from a gun.

[Bridge]
They say a break-in should leave you afraid
But danger's the tribute I've willingly paid
The fear of the loss is the peak of the thrill
Take every possession, surrender my will.

[Outro]
The getaway car is idling outside
You got what you came for, my joy and my pride
So make your escape while the siren still wails
I’m counting my losses, tipping the scales...
And hoping your next little felony never fails.
