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
