lyrics

Olivia was a common crook
She learned to do it from a book
Got a special thrill from what she took
And it made her kinda wild
To great excess she liked to drink
She’d pour it down ’til she couldn’t think
And then spread it wide the colour pink
For anyone around

<chorus>
Olivia strange but sweet
Complicated frank and indiscreet
Yeah she could drain your vessel dry
And do it in her sleep
She stole it all and wanted more
Like a tiger’s gotta eat
So tell me now what were we to do
For Olivia
</chorus>

Olivia she took it far
Cuttin’ deals in the boss’s car
Sneaking sweets from behind the bar
She was greatly out of hand
Arrested for a petty theft
She didn’t know her right from left
Of her senses she was sure bereft
So they threw her in the can

<chorus>

Olivia she bumped her head
Hit the ground like a sack of lead
Rolled over once and then lay down dead
She was better off that way
