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
