Microphone Burglar Lyrics

Late night in the tenderloin

 Didn't get home until 3 in the morning

 Kind of mellow and my mind's just wandering

 Outside the rain is falling

 But I feel alright

 I think I'll make it through another night

 My body's been stolen but my mind is my own

 You got to work so hard to keep it all in control

 And don't talk to the judge you won't get no pity

 Sometimes you gotta take what you need in the city

 And I don't want to disturb you

 I'm the microphone burglar

 

 Work all damn day and I'm taxed

 Gotta get mine back cause my brain's been hijacked

 Same four walls but you can't leave

 The streets got no pity when you dream

 Another scream outside of my window

 But I ain't worried cause the front door's locked

 I may not be the fastest runner but believe me

 When the shit starts flying I'm the first one leaving

 It's so easy to get caught with your hand in the jar

 They leave bottles out but they're watching the bar

 And if you push back they'll push harder

 Gotta keep your head above emotional slaughter

 And I don't want to make you alarmed

 But I'm lyrically armed

 

 5:30 and the sky is clearing

 I close my blinds and I finish my beer

 and it's one more night behind me

 one more day is dawning in the city

 and I feel alright

 looks like I made it through another night

 my love is yours but my pain is my own

 take what I need and I'm gone
