Damien Jurado - Medication lyrics

It just so happens I have many concerns 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. d**h 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 k** 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
