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
