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
|
|
Chorus
|
When the weight comes down
|
When the weight comes down
|
|
In the night there's a girl who doesn't mind her ragged sleeves
|
Knowing someone is gonna grieve
|
And a man he tells her a story, she just don't believe
|
Called, "Adam never could do right by Eve."
|
|
And the weight comes down
|
And the weight comes down
|
And 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, says, "Open wide, wide, wide"
|
|
In my dreams, a candy coated train comes to my door
|
With a little girl, I can't have anymore
|
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
|
|
