one was from the east the other from the west
and I don't claim to know either one of them's the best
but I know an good man when I see one
your humour just as black as the bruises on your arms
what you lacked in skills you made up for with your charms
you said it was just some new infection
but if the two of you had met both your mothers would have wept
two peas in a pod or&65279; just [D] two thieves [C]
on the nod
you stole your&65279; [C] education [D] while the students were [Em] asleep [C]
you wrapped your history up in blankets and sank it in the deep
you said what's saved was worth perfection
you were my ambassador to a world that didn't care
bad luck on your side mirrored shades and dirty hair
when I look all I see is my own reflection
&65279; [D] [Am] [D] [C] [G]
well they twitched and they winked
you would show me we are thick as thieves
but you empty out my wallet and my ashtray as you leave
did you forget that I was your only friend ?
two months on the road and I don't know how to say good bye
maybe I should bury&65279; all those [Am] memories of [D] you
but I don't ever want to see them die
