This song is about 2 beautiful people who love each other but know each other has another life, a toxic life, but each accepts it. When they say everybody’s got disease it’s acknowledging we all are imperfect. When I hear the lion won’t lay down when the holy man’s in town I think of her not turning tricks on her period. I think the tearing me apart in the dead of the night is his inability to accept her role as most men would even though he loves her.
