People You Love

Don't take this the wrong way Habibi; Now I know you drove a long way to see Me in the fog of the night, in the 2CV Don't take this the wrong way, whatever But the sunset over your Last night together That particular light Didn't fool me But I hope that the angel above you Sticks around when push Comes to shove And I hope that the people Who love you Are the same as the people you love Six foot one at six in the morning And the world is just The town you were born in And you gather it in Gather it in, gather it in Ain't your life a camera lucida; When you glowed in the morning Like a long lost leader Like a globe that was lit from within But I hope those electrics inside you Keep you warm when push Comes to shove; And I hope that the people You've lied to Keep away from the people you love Sweet lifeline, ain't it a shame: Tonight is the last time That I'll call you by that name Don't take this the wrong way But even if you do take This the wrong way Believe it: you're a difficult guy Believe it 'cause I'm difficult too You may be the great snake deceiver But it don't make me A great make-believer And you'll never be free Thinking of me, thinking of you But I hope that the angel above you Sticks around when push Comes to shove And I hope that the people Who love you Are the same as the people you love Are the same as the people you love
