The Skimmer

Verse 1

Creepin’ in the shadows
Watching the cashbox glow
Hands like glue traps
Feeling like they’re owed
Skimming off the top
No one sees a thing
Empty pockets now full
A robbing spree in full swing

Pre-Chorus

Your mask of trust
it’s paper thin
Every dime you steal is a mortal sin

Chorus

The Skimmer!
Taking bites from the feast
like a ghoul in the night
The Skimmer!
Stackin’ bills in your pockets
Thinkin’ you’re outta sight
The Skimmer!
But now it’s starting to show
The Skimmer gets caught as the spotlight glows

Verse 2

Greed is a poison
Dripping slow and sweet
You dance on the table
but stumble on your feet
We’re watching your every move 
An empire of theft, they can’t prove 

Pre-Chorus

You think you’re untouchable
Smooth as silk, slick and sly
We’ve got our eyes on you 
Because we know you won’t comply 

Chorus

The Skimmer!
Taking bites from the feast
like a ghoul in the night
The Skimmer!
Stackin’ bills in your pockets
Thinkin’ you’re outta sight
The Skimmer 
But now, it’s starting to show
The Skimmer gets caught as the spotlight glows

Bridge (Breakdown)
A little bit of this
And a little bit of that
No one will notice 
Push those pockets flat
Every stolen coin’s a grave mistake
Is that the price you’re willing to take?

Final Chorus 

The Skimmer!
You can’t hide forever
It’ll come back to take a bite
The Skimmer!
You have our attention 
Cause you’re now in our sight
The Skimmer 
Just when you thought it was over 
For now, hide your head and take cover.
