Detective Lieutenant

(альбом: Hygiene - 2022)

Architect and mason build a square
You're the one who assigns it meaning
You live in that space you give it
Joy, anger, hope or despair

If I do a double murder
What this song did for you doesn't change an iota
One man per crucifix
Form a line, your turn is coming, just give it time

We don't toss away what we love
(We don't toss away what we love)
Well, maybe some of us
But I'm not part of that cover up

I won't toss away what I love
(I won't toss away what I love)
I don't care who's involved
I'm not part of that cover up

We don't toss away what we love
(We don't toss away what we love)
I won't toss away what I love
(I won't toss away what I love)

Bricklayers do their part and they exit
What happens next is none of their business
Christmas dinner, family battles
Who's on drugs and who's pregnant

If we disappoint each other somehow
It's okay, we don't share the same house
There's only one side of the street
You're responsible for
And that's yours

We don't toss away what we love
(We don't toss away what we love)
I won't toss away what I love
(I won't toss away what I love)

We don't toss away what we love
(We don't toss away what we love)
Well, maybe some of us
But I'm not part of that cover up

I won't toss away what I love
(I won't toss away what I love)
I want to forget you asked

You don't need to justify
Any and all reasons why
No one elected you to judge
Truth is you're buried all by yourself
