lyrics

Constance:
look who just walked in here, katy dear i missed ya
it's been too long, arent you a sight
your dress is so inspired
you're looking kind of tired, katy, girl are you all right?

Katy:
C, it's good to see you, i gotta job, i need ya
i 'll tell you more if agree
it's a little B&E, a two girl job i think
we always made a real good team

Constance:
I'd do anything for ya, you know that. Just like the old days, huh?

Katy:
Just like the old days

...
Constance:
A little nick will do the trick, a snatch, a jack, a grab
A pinch, a sack and out the back before it gets you nabbed
Keep your walk so nonchalant, wonder whats ado
The art my dear, diverting gear from their domain to you

The rush the chase on out the gate
The sirens in the street
The artistry of larceny
The vocation of the thief

They say in ancient times when mighty pyramids stood tall.
The class divide was first devised the have nots and have alls
Right then and there i tell you here the first thief they appeared
To recirculate, reallocate the partitioning of wares

The swipe, the take the quick escape
The plot, the crime the scheme
The artistry of larceny
The vocation of the thief

…

The pluck the swipe the swap the heist
The snatching of the loot
The plunder, con, defraud and gone
The sweet talk and the ruse

The hustle, game, its all the same
The setup and the scheme
The artistry of larceny
The vocation of thief


Constance:
Hey, do you wanna go somewhere and talk? I feel like... i feel like there's stuff unresolved from before and we could sit and chat and you know, have a little girl time.

Katy:
I do, i really do. I really wanna... it's just.... im sorry, i gotta... i cant, i want to it's just.... im sorry. im so sorry. i gotta go. I gotta go. im sorry.

Paul Shapera Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Cama’s attempt to commune with higher beings failed; she only found Decadent Dottie. Together they roamed, indulging in dangerous forms of psycho-neural self-exploration which Cama hoped would present the key to her people’s further evolution. It only led to her destroying her people so that one of their pets could evolve. She sat in her former civilization's rubble and listened to Paul Shapera. ... more
