ah, i'm so happy someone posted this! i've been trying to transcribe the lyrics for a while now but never really felt like i had it right. this is pretty close to what i have, except you forgot the last part of the last verse, which i think goes something like this...
You may now be wondering what my part in all this mess is
You prefer your puzzle pieced together, I think that's precious
But I may never tell, oh, or you may never know
See, I do not get dealt all the cards but I sense which ones to show
And I think you'd like to have a seat but you can hang above
You may be checked with Sammy, Little John or Lovely
Just be careful what information you seek
Yes, just be careful what information you seek
There's a certain honor amongst, a certain honor amongst thieves (x4)
anyway, i'm not really sure what the meaning is, other than the whole story about how they are thieves in a tavern, etc. samuel clemens is mark twain's real name, so that's probably a part of it. whatever it means, this song is awesome. i love this band.

Not too sure to the meaning of this one, maybe a reference to one of Samuel Clemen's (Mark Twain's) writings?
