Dead Weight

Dead Weight
Oh you made me feel so bad
Took all the loving that I had
Made me feel like I was
A little baby no I'm not
Another palooka
Got a heart like a bazooka
But you're dead weight

I'm growing tired
Of the pain that's transpired
But then look down to find
That my heart was on rewind

What's the use of lugging dead weight
Antithesis of love and hate
Won't jump off the Empire State
To get rid of this dead weight
To get rid of this dead weight

You're loose fitting as a cuff
And though I think I've had enough
You've only got half of
What cement's made of
(The heavy part)
Prayed and parted the sea
Looked both ways so I could flee

But it feels like forty years
Since we shared each other's cares
But then look up to find
It's done wonders for my mind
What's the use of lugging dead weight
Antithesis of love and hate
Won't jump off the Empire State
To get rid of this dead weight
To get rid of this dead weight

There's no conspiracy
Lifted dead weight now I'm free
There's no conspiracy

There was a shackle down my spine
A wine grape withered on the vine
"I'm feelin' fine" tattooed
Across my stupid grin
Then a changing of perspective
Better yet it's an elective

When it feels like forty years
Since we shared each other's cares

What's the use of lugging dead weight
Antithesis of love and hate
Won't jump off the Empire State
To get rid of this dead weight
To get rid of this dead weight
To get rid of this dead weight

Dead dead dead dead dead dead
Dead dead dead dead dead
Dead weight
