Medication Lyrics - Ghost Of David - 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
