Steelin' in the Years
Words and music by Mike Turner

Your everlasting summer
You can see it ripped-off fast
So you palm a piece of something
And you take it to a fence
But you wouldn't know a first edition
If you held it in your hand
The things you think are booty
I can't understand
Are you steelin' in the years
Stowin' away the crime
Are you gatherin' up the nickels
To exchange them for a dime
Are you steelin' in the years
Stowin' away the crime
Are you gatherin' up the nickels
To exchange them for a dime
You been tellin' me you're a thief
Since you were seventeen
In all the time I've known you
I still don't know what you steal
The weekend with Genet
Didn't turn out like you planned
The things that pass for literature
I can't understand
Chorus
