Together

Like the desert and the sun
Like a bullet and a gun
Like promised things never done
We go together

Like a coffin and a grave
Like chains of iron and a slave
Like being scared and acting brave
We go together

Like a car crash and a scream
Like a drunkard and a dream
Like dirty nails and fraying seams
We go together.

Like the world of rich and poor
Like late night vomit in shop doors
Like the vice squad and the whores
We go together.

Like the winter and the cold
Like the bluffer and the fold
Like the word out and the word sold
We go together.

I love you and you hate me
You love me and I hate you
I guess there's nothing left to do
Let's go together.
