Take The Weight Lyrics

Blood Red Shoes

Everyone comes in and out
staring like a cinema
shut these doors (shut these doors)
You're wrapped up in a uniform
just a cigarette away from shedding tears (shedding tears)
You're screaming for someone to come and pick you up and take the weight... off

I can't sleep
it's just too hot
I can't sleep and I can't believe...

Just how far it's gone
just how far it's gone
every day and night,
every day and night
how they get along,
how they get along
how they could be wrong
how they could be wrong
Wish it could be me, wish it could be me...

Money earnt and money spent
clothes have got a hold again
you count each stare (count each stare)
The television therapy is no attempt to remedy
the new torment (new torment)
You're screaming for someone to come and pick you up and take the weight... off

I can't sleep
it's just too hot
I can't sleep and I can't believe...
