Something Heavy

Stumbling round the village with you again

I′m clapped out on up and downers tonight

Both know what we're in for tomorrow

Drinking anything as a preemptive strike

God, she′s full of pain and I know it

Got a kink in her smile that her Dad put there

We both know that we're gonna regret it

Selfishly we stay to dodge a lonely night

Everybody here's got something heavy

Shoulder it a while if you just want a night off

You and I are dangerous, lovers

Whittling away at this bag of rocks

Carrying each-other up the avenue

The city′s never felt so dead

Half the joints bummed out ′bout COVID

My friends reached for the rope and tied

Oh, God! How come we keep missing signals?

We almost lost joy on that hard dark night

She grabbed me by the arm, kissed me to disarm

The anger that I've carried like a rock my whole life

Everybody here′s got something heavy

Shoulder it a while if you just want a night off

You and I are dangerous, lovers

Whittling away at this bag of rocks

I'm drinking for two down in Arthur′s bar

This place has really lost its charm

I'm working on the words that I would′ve said

Had you still been around

Oh, God! What's in the water in this town?

So many good people falling victim to the dark

So call me if you're down I′ll help you come around

The kettle on a rolling boil until it′s sorted out

Everybody here's got something heavy

Shoulder it a while if you just want a night off

You and I are dangerous, lovers

Whittling away at this bag of rocks

Everybody here′s got something heavy

Everybody here's got something heavy

Everybody here′s got something heavy

Everybody here's got something heavy

Stumbling round the village with you again

I′m clapped out on up and downers tonight
