Backpatters and Shooters

You know that I'd be the first To let you into my head Please arrive with no warning Cos like an empty hearse I'm a little less dead Than I was this morning And when I think back To the weight of the pack on my shoulders I laugh Why did I ever carry that All your arms honey Are reaching to me And I'm reaching to you With all my arms honey I'm reaching to you And you're reaching to me And I don't know How long I can stay But I just hope That I can move Another day You know that I'd be the first To plant roses in your face And frame beauty with beauty And though I'm dying of thirst I'm still running in your race With the men who pat my back And the men who would shoot me And when I look up If I squint I see love But it's never that much And no it's never enough All your arms honey Are reaching to me And I'm reaching to you With all my arms honey I'm reaching to you And you're reaching to me And I don't know How long I can stay But I just hope That I can move Another day
