Marty Cain - Weighing Me Down lyrics

early this morning i read the paper i sipped my coffee without a sound as bombs were dropped on countries whose names i can't pronounce sometimes life seems like a cake slippin' through the layers of illusion that you bake my mind is trippin' on these verbs and these nouns i think i'll take a walk downtown weighing me down there's something keeping me from going downtown weighing me down i'm confused by these scents and these sounds weighing me down these thoughts are weights holding me to the ground weighing me down i know that i gotta stick around breathe in the air the wind in my hair center of the universe isn't even there i searched and i looked through libraries of books hopin' it'd be together like knights and rooks
