When The Weight Comes Down Lyrics - Up To Here - Tragically Hip

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 a girl who doesn't mind her ragged sleeves 

Knowing someone is going to grieve 

And a man he tells her a story she just don't believe 

Called "Adam never could do right by Eve"

When the weight comes down 

When the weight comes down 

When the weight comes down 

Down on you, down on you 

And a girl walks by the burning bush 

She asks, "What's gone wrong here, man?" 

And he smiles and says, "Open wide, wide, wide" 

In my dreams a candy coated train comes to my door 

With a little girl I can't have any more 

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 

When the weight, when the weight comes down 

Down on me, down on me, down on me 

When the weight comes down 

Oh no, I cannot breathe, I cannot breathe 

When the weight comes down 

When the weight comes down 

Well, get out, get out, get out, get out, get out, no, no, no 

Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no 

No, no, no
