Weigh It Down

I took my money to the cleaner

And for a price it came back greener

Now the time has come for renovations

In the neighborhood all the apparitions are leaving

And if not for good, then at least for now

I will be alone for as long as they will allow

The sadness and the dull routine

Is perfect for the opening scene

The lazy bastard with a spark

Who never left a mark

In this house and on my lawn

You can hide in your Golden Glow until the snow is gone

On Southill Drive I saw a ghost

She said,

"I liked you, but I liked your friends the most

And when your body fails, I'll hammer down the nails

And wait for you in heaven, unless somebody posts your bail"

The sadness and the dull routine

Was perfect for the music scene

The lazy bastard with a spark

Who never left a mark

I'm searching for the anecdote

To prove a point, to line the coat

To taint the love, to lace the drink

To weigh it down and sink
