lyrics

I passed a copper thief on the city street
With a shopping cart and a cardboard box
He's just a copper thief in old ragged jeans
With aged hollow eyes
Beside an old cheap wine

He's just a copper thief, not like you or me
The lies we tell ourselves like we tried to help
But oh, copper thief, I ain't fooling you or me
I spared a prayer that's all
And quietly moved along

In my neighborhood, people got it good
And they've put in the hours to get what they deserve
So, copper thief, you got my sympathy
Just don't look to me
To solve anything

Just a copper thief in old ragged jeans
With aged hollow eyes, beside an old cheap wine
But oh, copper thief, I see your misery
And I would help you out but I just don't know how

He's just a copper thief, not like you or me
The lies we tell ourselves like we tried to help
But oh, copper thief, you got my sympathy
And I would help you out
But I just don't know how

I passed a copper thief on the city street
With a shopping cart
His bed's a cardboard box
