Thick N Thin

My hair was thick for a moment My heart was thick for a week My love is thick when you want it Though afterwards, I can't speak If you won't come by the bedside, You can still come to the back door There's all kinds of fish in a red tide And a hopeless few still down the shore Everybody's dealing with sickness Nobody knows any cure The worst kind of debt is thickness Against that, no one's insured The red meat is thick in the middle The dark meat is thick like the past They're now thickening individuals I guess so they're fit to be gassed If you find that you're in the thick of it, Maybe you'll be amazed The plague don't care if you're sick of it And God lets you know when He prays Thick as thieves — Thin out the herd — Isn’t it funny How the line between thick and thin Is often blurred You know I’ll be yours through thick and thin I won’t fly out the door when the money rolls in I’ll be the singer you always wanted I’ll be the glamor you never flaunted
