their thoughts are heavy. their words are heavy. their moves are heavy. but light enough to keep us off the ground. they're still around. we're still around. fighting every day from town to town. (there's more conviction, in the deal of a century, than in the fucking whole of you) like some kind of stuck-up traveling circus. let's get out and work this. let's make it work. our arms are heavy. our eyes are heavy. our knees are heavy. they're hard enough to knock us to the ground. hey look, we're down. i'll never understand just why you frown upon this like it's something evil. we just love people. so let's meet people. let's get out. we scream for the answers of day to day. (sometimes things get heavy) we raise our fists in the air as we walk away. (it's how you deal with it) one last stand as we slave for the common plane. (sometimes we seem heavy) my life, my chance, i walk away. let's get out and work this. let's get out.
