Despite the best intentions
The intervention didn't go as planned
Oh he won't linger long
But he will grip your shoulder as you plea
He's so far down
He's too far down
He's good for the small impressions
Greetings, farewells, ??? ??? ??? ???
But he'll slit your whispers just like a paper cut
Stay as loose as a real estate suit
He's too far down
To be uptight is the privilege of an opulent mind
The kid's as free as the ink tricklin' down my sheath/sheet
As the sweat tricklin' down your sleeve
As the trash blowin' down your street
Despite the best intentions
The intervention will not go as planned
To suppose a supine pose and an open mind
Was a folly born of greed
He's too far down
To be uptight is the privilege of an opulent mind
The kid's as free as the ink tricklin' down on my sheath/sheet
As the sweat tricklin' down your sleeve
As the trash blowin' down your street
You've just been betrayed by love
May you always be conveyed by love
