When The Weight Comes Down

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 soon is gonna grieve And a man, he tells her a story, she just won'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 me And a girl walks by the burning bush She asks, "what's gone wrong here, man?" And he smiles, and then 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 can not read and I probably should ignore, oh no When the weight comes down And the weight comes down When the weight comes down (when the weight, when the weight comes down) When the weight comes down (down on me, down on me, down on me, oh no) When the weight comes down (now I can not breathe, can not breathe, oh) When the weight comes down (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 --- When the Weight Comes Down - The Tragically Hip
