Lyrics
And now, a word from our sponsor.
Folks, in these troubled times there's so many stresses that can get you down one often wishes they could just take the anxieties of the day and sweep them away!
Well, I'm here to tell you, you can!
With Papaver cigarettes, you can grab the peace and happiness you deserve
And don't forget, one less stress you don't need to worry about with Papaver cigarettes is money!
That's right, times are thin?
Well chin up, you can use your government issued credits to buy papaver cigarettes
All the pleasure without spending a dime!
And now, back to The New Albion Radio Hour!
Welcome listeners to the 2nd Act of tonight's broadcast
And tonight we have a special treat
The one and only Constance O'Brien, star of the stage, is here in our very own studio to perform the lead role in of our second act
Welcome Miss O'Brien
We're big fans here at The New Albion Radio Hour.
Oh thank you, Lloyd, the pleasure's all mine
So who will you be playing for us tonight?
Well, as soon as I get in character, I'll be Inanna
A young attendee of New Albion's high society soirees, who has a secret agenda of her own
Well, listeners, while Constance gets ready, why don't you let me, Lloyd Allen, and The Dieselpunk Orchestra here set the stage for our next act and tell you a little bit about her character
Here, on the New Albion Radio Hour
The thief is a lady, a lonely girl who maybe
Knows the ways of loss from end to end
The world where she's staying, its high-class rules seem crazy
And she's a low-class girl who smiles and just pretends
She's taking her time, she's taking your cool
She's taking your heart while she's taking your jewels
She's taking tonight
She's taking tonight
She's taking tonight
She's taking it all, she's taking your mind
She's taking it on, taking you for a ride
She's taking tonight
She's taking tonight
She's taking tonight
The thief is a lady, on her mother's grave cried daily
And still lights a flame on Sundays at the shrine
But now she's been staying in a world refined and stately
Where beauty hides a fierce and cruel design
She's taking her time, she's taking your cool
She's taking your heart while she's taking your jewels
She's taking tonight
She's taking tonight
She's taking tonight
She's taking it all, she's taking your mind
She's taking it on, taking you for a ride
She's taking tonight
She's taking tonight
She's taking tonight
In the upper class of Albion, the laws are quite clear
If you're female and divorced, you have no rights to it here
Your wealth, your home, your children are all his to decide
Ladies drink their tea in fear of being tossed aside
The thief has seen this very thing happen up close
Man cheats, then divorces, then down his wife goes
At 50, all her money, children, world and friends
Are gone in one brief flash and all she knows just ends
Amongst these fine ladies, word of mouth says maybe
If he decides to cast you cold aside
A thief, she can save thee, she only works for ladies
She'll get that little nest egg he denied
She's taking her time, she's taking your cool
She's taking your heart while she's taking your jewels
She's taking tonight
She's taking tonight
She's taking tonight
She's taking it all, she's taking your mind
She's taking it on, taking you for a ride
She's taking tonight
She's taking tonight
She's taking tonight
