Текст (слова) песни: Over The Rhine - Dead Weight

 
Sometimes I like to stick my fingers 
where they don`t belong. 
Sometimes I like to fake a fever 
and just stay home. 
`Cause we smile in here 
we don`t get too close to sadness. 
`Cause what`s holding us 
is just about to break. 
Ain`t it funny how 
life can drag behind us 
just like so much dead weight. 
Sometimes what feels like 
pretty good music 
is just the same old song. 
Sometimes we deal with 
bygone bruises 
andfind it`s been too long. 
But we laugh in here 
we don`t get too close to sadness. 
We know good enough 
is a thousand miles from grace. 
Ain`t it funny how 
life can drag behind us 
just like so much 
dead weight. 
And my hometown train 
is pulling from the station. 
And I know for once 
I really will be late. 
And I`ll dream that we 
can leave the past behind us 
just like to much 
dead weight. 
Sometimes I like to stick my fingers 
where they don`t belong.
