I kept him out of the daylight, oh whoa oh
The Sun would do no favors to that doughy skin
I sat him down around lunchtime, oh whoa oh
We'd advise that you watch it another way

And he weighed, and he weighed
And he weighed, and he weighed
And he weighed, and he weighed
And he weighed, and he weighed
And he weighed, and he weighed
And he weighed me down

Don’t get me wrong it was alright, oh whoa oh
The cigarette ash may end on time to take
But he had been gone a long time, oh whoa oh
There would be no phoenix rising from that ash

And he weighed, and he weighed
And he weighed, and he weighed
And he weighed, and he weighed
And he weighed, and he weighed
And he weighed, and he weighed
And he weighed me down

Light construction in two doors down
It brought me hell
Don’t know what it was they were building
It broke me down

Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down

And he weighed, and he weighed
And he weighed, and he weighed
And he weighed, and he weighed
And he weighed, and he weighed

And he weighed, and he weighed
And he weighed, and he weighed
And he weighed, and he weighed
And he weighed, and he weighed

And he weighed, and he weighed
And he weighed, and he weighed
And he weighed, and he weighed
And he weighed, and he weighed

And he weighed, and he weighed
And he weighed me down
