The Thief

i think it's "love seems bare of meaning when cash is king"

and "fleeding" should be "fleeting"

lol "Baron von Cashisking"

ok my constructive comment is that it is "love seems barren..." but the last time he sings that line, Casey actually says "love seems bare of meaning..." So both are right!

Shrouded Criminal An innovative mind (he was _____??)

Shadowed They're oblivious with plans awry (he was _____??)

Who can save us now?

Love seems barren when cash is king Wealth here for the bleeding what good will bring More than I could ask from those who sleep A crooked mind, an honest heart ancillary They collide

Cheating Innocence I've got the time tonight

Tonight x 6

Got time, got time x 7

Love seems bare of meaning when cash is king Wealth here for the bleeding what good will bring Be more than I could ask from those who sleep A crooked mind, an honest heart ancillary They collide

the only thing I can't make out is what the background singers are saying after each of the first 2 verses. the first 2 words are either "he was" or "we must" but the next part I can't tell. sounds something like spear and slow, spirits low, miracle, or spiritual, or but none of those make sense at all. A couple other sites have "we must let words go" but I'm pretty sure that's wrong.

I actually don't have a prob w/ the original poster putting "baron" instead of "barren"; it shows the nice wordplay by Casey to someone who might not catch it, since the song is saying that love < cash. Similarly, a baron < a king.

Oh and like the guy said above me, the first time it's "love is barren" and the second time it's "love is bare of meaning".

Err no, I'm pretty sure it's "Love is BARREN"

I thought it said

"Shrouded Criminal An innovative mind "We watch spirits move"

Shadowed They're oblivious with plans awry "We watch spirits move""
