Weightless Again lyrics
by The Handsome Family
[Verse 1]
We stopped for coffee
In the redwood forest
Giant dripping leaves
Spoons of powdered cream
I wanted to kiss you
But I wasn't sure how
Like those Indians
Lost in the rainforest
Forced to drag burning wood wherever they went
They all had forgotten how to start a fire
[Chorus]
This is why people OD on pills
And jump from the Golden Gate Bridge
Anything to feel weightless again
[Verse 2]
Those poor lost Indians
When the white man found them
Most died of TB
The rest went insane
In our motel room
You're drinking slice and gin
Reading Moby di*k
On the other bed
Remember the first time
We slept together
You said it felt like
When you learned to float
[Chorus]
This is why people OD on pills
And jump from the Golden Gate Bridge
Anything to feel weightless again
