Tragically Hip - When The Weight Comes Down lyrics

He said hold a dollar bill up to the mirror

And I’ll show you something funny

It’s only a fast buckbut

It’s so hard to make that kind of money.

Now it’s hard to get serious when the joker

Is laughing

And by now the joker is wild

It’s hard to keep laughing when a rich man’s

Reflection

Looks like a gun that’s gonna smile

What’s going onI ask you

What’s going oncan you see?

What’s going onI ask you and

Who’s coming onis it you or me?

Coming on while it’s still soft and warm

Burn it dry before the fiery storm

Sing it now while you still have a song

Grab on now while you’re still feeling strong.

How longhow long would you like it

How longhow long will it be

How longhow long can we take it?

How long before we take it backyou and me

Think fast.

I was thinking that I should be singing along

Think fast I think he’s coming thru

Think fasthe thinks he’s running you

I was thinking that I should be singing along

Think fasthe thinks he’s coming in

Think fastI think he’s wearing thin

I was thinking that I should be singing along

Think fasthe’s taking all your time

Think fastyou know he’s out of line

But who caresyou know you canyou willyou

Know you can.

Sing it now while you still

Sing it now while you still

Sing it now while you still have a song.
