Maybe this will kick start something.

 

 

 

I've got the pockets of a shoplifter

 

The fingers of a thief

 

The manners of a gigolo

 

Lifts your wallet while you sleep

 

Reading those lyrics you started got me thinking of this song by Molly Hatchet especially at the 56 second mark.

 

 

by the way, I am a HUGE fan of the Danny Joe Brown lead singing years of Molly Hatchet.

Nice start. I'd drop the pronoun and go with:

 

Got pockets of a shoplifter

Fingers of a thief

The manners of a Gigolo

Lift your wallet while you sleep. 

 

You can let the listener wonder who you're talking about at the beginning. Maybe make it a surprise that it's autobographical.

Very cool. Issue: the last 2 line's positioning (and with the masculine leaning word "wallet") make it appear as though you've just serviced a male client then robbed him.

 

Give it a country song feel to it;

 

Got the pockets of a drifter

The fingers of a thief

Tryin to make my way back to Lerado 

I'll lift your wallet while you sleep.
