Heavyweight Lyrics


I'm looking for a sign that I can't see
The good, the bad, it's somewhere in between
These warning signs
These urban grinds
Let me down
The kids are building fires by their homes
The smoke is sending signals out in code
Yeah, these safety suits
These parachutes
I don't know
Gotta stop. Drop. Roll.
When all these walls come down
They'll shake us
We fight. We're not to be
Not to be weightless
When all these stars hit ground
They'll wake us
We fight. We're not to be

Not to be weightless
I'm choking on the words that I can't say
My lungs are full but everything's misplaced
These junkyard dogs
These cherry bombs
Go off
The sun, the sky, the moon, will fall apart
Come tumbling down just like a house of cards
These fire escapes
These lush landscapes
It fades
When all these walls come down
They'll shake us
We fight. We're not to be
Not to be weightless
When all these stars hit ground
They'll wake us
We fight. We're not to be
Not to be weightless
Not to be weightless
I can feel this heavy weight hanging around my neck
I can feel your heartbeat bringing me back, and back again
When all these walls come down
They'll shake us
We fight. We're not to be
Not to be weightless
When all these stars hit ground
They'll wake us
We fight. We're not to be
Not to be weightless
Be weightless
Be weightless

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

One of the all-time giants of the Hammond B-3, Jimmy McGriff (April 3, 1936 -- May 24, 2008) sometimes gets lost amid all the great soul-jazz organists from his hometown of Philadelphia. He was almost certainly the bluesiest of the major soul-jazz pioneers, and indeed, he often insisted that he was more of a blues musician than a jazz artist; nonetheless, he remained eclectic enough to blur the lines of classification.
