Something Heavy

Stomping 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 pre-emptive 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 I'll shoulder it a while if you just want a night off You and I are dangerous, fucked lovers Whittling away at this bag of rocks Carrying each other up the avenue The city's never felt so tired Half the joints bombed after COVID My friends reached for the rope and tied Oh, God, how can we keep missing signals? We almost lost Joey on that horrid, dark night She grabbed me by the arm, kissed me to disarm The anger that I've carried like a rock me whole life Everybody here's got something heavy I'll shoulder it a while if you just want a night off You and I are dangerous, fucked lovers Whittling away at this bag of rocks I'm drinking for two down in Arthur's bar This place severely lost its charm I'm working on the words that I would have said Had you have still been around Oh, God, what's in the water in this town? So many good people falling victim to the dog 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 I'll shoulder it a while if you just want a night off You and I are dangerous, fucked 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 Stumble round the village with you again I'm clapped out on up and downers tonight
