Palace Brothers I Tried To Stay Healthy For You Lyrics

I tried to stay healthy for you
I stayed at that cane's length from peril
But lonely threads constrict my heart
As you perch on that barrel

Sing to them all and I'll stand by
Though jealousy it threatens
Smoke's around my blackened lungs
It is my only weapon

I hate these bags beneath my eyes
I know when your song's over
You'll come back to this bed of ours And be my only lover

The carnal thoughts they are beyond us
A man I am but only
To be your faithful other half
That neither one be lonely

Cold and old and here today
Our faces melt together
I would I had the means to make
Our persons one together

We are you and me and so it is
