greenwich tea party - lead weight lyrics
[verse 1]
everything you screamed at me was true
i was pointing guilty fingers back at you
walking back to my father’s car
i wasn’t ready yet, not set to go so far
[chorus]
there’s something
holding me down
there’s something
holding me down
now, that lead weight’s gone
[verse 2]
friends said we just didn’t fit
a snake i was, in a mongoose pit
we brushed aside a million buzzing flies
and that rose-colored fog filled our eyes
[verse 3]
the shame lives in everything i do
like unshifting sand from my shoe
twenty silver pieces chill my heart
in your tragedy, i wish i’d played no part
[chorus]
there’s something
holding me down
there’s something
holding me down
now, that lead weight’s gone
[verse 4]
everything you screamed at me was true
i was pointing guilty fingers back at you
walking back to my father’s car
i wasn’t ready yet, not set to go so far
[chorus]
there’s something
holding me down
there’s something
holding me down
now, that lead weight’s gone
now, that lead weight’s gone
