Detective Lieutenant

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, and despair

If I do a double murder
What the song did for you
Doesn't change an iota
One man pro-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 the 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 it'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 your burial part of yourself
