maybe you'd be better off with another man
for there's a weight that must be relieved
I dread the thought of losing you but I would understand
until that day I'm glad you're here with me
I have friends that may be better for you
friends that have not the fears of I
it pains me just to think of you leaving
I don't ever want to say goodbye
lover these powders are compelling
I don't claim that it's the way to be
if I am fucking up there ain't no telling
I'm just glad that you are here with me
this morning they killed the candymaker
three shots to his head from a forty five
I don't want to end up in the paper
or kill a man just to watch him die
I don't mean to judge the man that murders
I don't care to un-sympathize
I am neither victim nor killer
I see myself in both of their eyes
but what drives a man to kill another
and leave his body in the dirt to bleed
ain't he also my brother
ain't you happy you are here with me
