Dead Weight
I came back to church today
Me and liquid courage
Out front sucking down marlboros
I can't take the hymns
They make me sick
I scream to drown them out
And no one answers me
Goddammit why am I surprised
Does it sting
Just a bit rushed I'd say but
Time was on my side
Dead weight
It's all momentum now
I don't know it
But I'm glad you've found it in record time
Here's my procession
. . .
Just a little empty here
And it's kind of quiet
I suspect there's nothing left
Nothing for the vultures to pick through
Congratulations
You're the strongest aren't you
Until you're not
And when they've stripped you
Of everything your only comfort's
The charm of a nightcap and a cigarette
Dead weight
It's all momentum now
I don't know it but I'm glad you've found it
In record time
Dead weight
It's all momentum now
I don't know it but I'm glad you've found it
In record time here's my procession
. . .
Does it sting
Just a bit rushed I'd say
But time was on my side
Me and liquid courage
Out front sucking down marlboros
I can't take the hymns
They make me sick
I scream to drown them out
And no one answers me
Goddammit why am I surprised
Does it sting
Just a bit rushed I'd say but
Time was on my side
Dead weight
It's all momentum now
I don't know it
But I'm glad you've found it in record time
Here's my procession
. . .
Just a little empty here
And it's kind of quiet
I suspect there's nothing left
Nothing for the vultures to pick through
Congratulations
You're the strongest aren't you
Until you're not
And when they've stripped you
Of everything your only comfort's
The charm of a nightcap and a cigarette
Dead weight
It's all momentum now
I don't know it but I'm glad you've found it
In record time
Dead weight
It's all momentum now
I don't know it but I'm glad you've found it
In record time here's my procession
. . .
Does it sting
Just a bit rushed I'd say
But time was on my side
