[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

Light construction two doors down

It wore me out

Don’t know what it was they were building

It broke me down

[Interlude]

Down, down, down, down

Down, down, down, down

Down, down, down, down

Down

[Chorus]

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
