Lyrics

Afternoon see a guy with rubies on his head And he's shifting like, shifting like he was dead And he's hearing something she never said On his way back home under his bed When the weight comes down When the weight comes down In the night a girl who doesn't mind her ragged sleeves Knowing someone is going to grieve And a man he tells her a story she just don't believe Called "Adam never could do right by Eve" When the weight comes down When the weight comes down When the weight comes down Down on you, down on you And a girl walks by the burning bush She asks, "What's gone wrong here, man?" And he smiles and says, "Open wide, wide, wide" In my dreams a candy coated train comes to my door With a little girl I can't have any more You know a letter washes up to the shore That I cannot read and I probably should ignore When the weight comes down When the weight comes down When the weight comes down When the weight, when the weight comes down Down on me, down on me, down on me When the weight comes down Oh no, I cannot breathe, I cannot breathe When the weight comes down When the weight comes down Well, get out, get out, get out, get out, get out, no, no, no Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no No, no, no
