Thick as Thieves Lyrics

I held up a liquor store
Demanded top-shelf metaphors
With a sinner's smile and open arms
Drop a line to charm the silent alarm
Heard neutral angels call the cops
They'll be choosing sides when the fighting stops
Polizie in the cabaret
While we six kings made our getaway
Thick as thieves
On our knees
With an ocean in between
Thick as thieves
On our knees
With an ocean in between
Laughter in the darkness
I heard whispers in the shadows
I was there when the wall fell down
I'll be there when the ocean rises
Building castles with cans and bottles
Drinking like they do in novels
I know they'll get me by and by
But tonight you are my alibi
The same old sun
that we all come from
Faded stars
in the air that we breath, in the earth, in the sea
Thick as thieves
On our knees
With an ocean in between
Thick as thieves
On our knees
With an ocean in between
Thick as thieves
On our knees
With an ocean in between
Thick as thieves
On our knees
With an ocean in between

The Menzingers originally formed after the dissolution of Bob And The Sagets, a band local to the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area of Pennsylvania. With the addition of Greg Barnett the band recorded a demo/self-released album "A Lesson In The Abuse Of Information Technology" in 2006.

Shortly thereafter they were signed by Go-Kart Records and re-recorded the songs from "A Lesson" and re-released their album with the addition of some new tracks.

At the Fest VII in Gainesville, FL they were approached by Brendan Kelly of The Lawrence Arms and subsequently signed to Red Scare Industries.

They released their Red Scare debut EP "Hold On, Dodge" in 2009.

In April 2010, Chamberlain Waits was released, through Red Scare Records. In March and April they also toured in support of Against Me!.

On May 17, 2011 they announced that they had signed to Epitaph Records. Brett Gurewitz, founder of Epitaph Records and guitarist of Bad Religion said this about the signing of the band:
"These guys play the kind of pure punk rock that I grew up with. They are seriously talented songwriters and I'm happy to welcome them to the Epitaph family. I think the band is a great fit here."

They released their third full length album, On The Impossible Past, on February 21, 2012 via Epitaph Records.

The band currently lives in South Philadelphia, PA.
