Tragically Hip - When the Weight Comes Down 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 there's 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 going on 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
