Two-Heart Blues

This is the story of a man with two hearts.
Both sides realize they have important, separate parts
they both know they both go,
“Bump-bump bump-bump”

Noble causes, they both serve
working for the beat
“Righty” slightly corners him, says,
“Baby, take a seat.”
She says, “Love baby, love!
It’s shameless love for a thirsty soul.
I am a part, of the piece, of a slice
of the half that makes you whole…”
And on and on she goes…

They’re both working
Overtime
and he don’t pay no mind
’cause working overtime
don’t stop the daily grind
May mean double pay
Frankly, it’s double pain
they both got the game
but they just don’t play the same

Fused to each other just like muscle to bone.
Evil twin brother just to call your own.
Sensitive lover
one swings a fist
Hover above her until she gets pissed
and she goes…

“Bump-bump bump-bump”

Working through the blood and hours,
keeping him alive.
“Lefty” deftly steps to him and says,
“Hey man, let’s take a drive.” He goes,
“It ain’t the love man, it’s the pain that’s so intense.
This is how you’ll live in now. This is heaven-sent.”
And on and on he goes…

They’re both working
Overtime
and he don’t pay no mind
’cause working overtime
don’t stop the daily grind
May mean double pay
Frankly, it’s double pain
they both got the game
but they just don’t play the same

And then came the time
he learned of their crimes against him.
So his body got to be a bloody battle zone.
It was his own profession.
Until that moment, nothing spoken ever made much sense.
He and his hearts, into the dark and they go…

“Bump-bump bump-bump”

“Bump-bump bump-bump”

“Bump-bump bump-bump”
