Medication(Album) - Damien Jurado

It just so happens I have many conerns
My brother's down the road and my lover in town
They both need affection
And some kind of love
Well I'm the one who gives it at any given time
From two in the morning to six
Call me up and cry
My lover keeps it secret that we meet under covers
When asked by her man if we two are lovers
She says
I hardly know him
Besides
He's not my type
Her man's a policeman with a keen sense of trouble
He's known just by danger
And all kinds of liars
Brother called this morning in a terrible panic
Spies in the closet
Bugs in the attic
He screams bloody murder saying
We're all gonna die
Death is upon me
I know 'cause he showed me
Pictures of graveyards and us underneath
I'm losing my hearing from my brother screaming
They're coming to get me and
Someone call the police
Two in the morning
The phone disconnected
Her man knows I'm calling
It's what I expected
A note on my backdoor saying
Baby not tonight
So I sit with my brother who is nursing a cut wrist
He's mumbling forgive me
And don't let them take me away
I can be a good boy and stay out of trouble
Jackie I love you and
Don't let them take your brother
Strapped to a table
Go in electrodes
Jackie come save me the doctors will kill me
No
They're here to help you
Straighten out your mind
The tv is blaring with some preacher saying that
God is among us and he hears our cries
Lord
Do me a favor
It's wrong but I ask you
Take my brother's life
'Cause he's sick of the suffering
The pills he's inhaling
The cross he is bearing
That is his trouble mind
