Joel Plaskett - Weigh It Down lyrics

I took my money to the cleaner And for a price it came back greener Now the time has come for renovations In the neighborhood all the apparitions are leaving And if not for good, then at least for now I will be alone for as long as they will allow The sadness and the dull routine Is perfect for the opening scene The lazy ba*tard with a spark Who never left a mark In this house and on my lawn You can hide in your Golden Glow until the snow is gone On Southill Drive I saw a ghost She said, "I liked you, but I liked your friends the most And when your body fails, I'll hammer down the nails And wait for you in heaven, unless somebody posts your bail" The sadness and the dull routine Was perfect for the music scene The lazy ba*tard with a spark Who never left a mark I'm searching for the anecdote To prove a point, to line the coat To taint the love, to lace the drink To weigh it down and sink
