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
