Dream Thief Girl

[Verse 1]
She came through the hallway slow
Bare feet, cold tile, soft glow
Eyes like two black dice
One look and she took my night

Saw my head hit the pillow hard
Then she slid through the sleep-time dark
Broke in clean, no alarm, no trace
Left me staring at my own blank space

[Pre-Chorus]
She don't need no key
She just leans on me
Touch my chest, then leave
Take my whole dream clean

[Chorus]
Dream thief girl
Dream thief girl
She take what I want
Then vanish in the curls
Dream thief girl
Dream thief girl
I wake up broke
In her little lost world

[Verse 2]
Last week I had a crown, a ring
A gold-front room with a choir that sang
Now it's dust on my tongue again
'Cause she keeps my sleep like a souvenir

She stole my face in a perfect dream
Then wore it out where nobody sees
I called her name, she just laughed low
Said, "Boy, you knew I'd take it, though"

[Pre-Chorus]
She don't need no key
She just leans on me
Touch my chest, then leave
Take my whole dream clean

[Chorus]
Dream thief girl
Dream thief girl
She take what I want
Then vanish in the curls
Dream thief girl
Dream thief girl
I wake up broke
In her little lost world

[Bridge]
If I catch her hands, if I catch that smile
I might ask for one dream back for a while
But she blink twice and I'm gone again
Lost in the shape of her midnight grin

[Chorus]
Dream thief girl
Dream thief girl
She take what I want
Then vanish in the curls
Dream thief girl
Dream thief girl
I wake up broke
In her little lost world
