Something Heavy - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Stomping round the village with you again

I'm clapped out on up and downers tonight

Both know what we're in for tomorrow

Drinking anything as a pre-emptive strike

God, she's full of pain, and I know it

Got a kink in her smile that her dad put there

We both know that we're gonna regret it

Selfishly, we stay to dodge a lonely night

Everybody here's got something heavy

I'll shoulder it a while if you just want a night off

You and I are dangerous, fucked lovers

Whittling away at this bag of rocks

Carrying each other up the avenue

The city's never felt so tired

Half the joints bombed after COVID

My friends reached for the rope and tied

Oh, God, how can we keep missing signals?

We almost lost Joey on that horrid, dark night

She grabbed me by the arm, kissed me to disarm

The anger that I've carried like a rock me whole life

Everybody here's got something heavy

I'll shoulder it a while if you just want a night off

You and I are dangerous, fucked lovers

Whittling away at this bag of rocks

I'm drinking for two down in Arthur's bar

This place severely lost its charm

I'm working on the words that I would have said

Had you have still been around

Oh, God, what's in the water in this town?

So many good people falling victim to the dog

So call me if you're down, I'll help you come around

The kettle on a rolling boil until it's sorted out

Everybody here's got something heavy

I'll shoulder it a while if you just want a night off

You and I are dangerous, fucked lovers

Whittling away at this bag of rocks

Everybody here's got something heavy

Stumble round the village with you again

I'm clapped out on up and downers tonight
