 we sleep  together  while all  around us
 peo-ple  kill each other where  they lie
 they lie  together  till they find  someone better
 try and negotiate  that slow  de-mise
 but I just  can't credit  that type of  effort for a
 piece of  nothing on the edge  of a knife
 sli-ces  you so thin  you dry like  sheets in the wind
 hold a candle  behind through you  see the light
