Heavy Lyrics

Heavy!

Like the beat of a drum

Heavy!

The thump of my strum

Ohhhh yeah, yeah

I learned my place

Heavy!

Playing the double bass

Sitting in my room at night

Listening to my parents fight

Like an egg that had cracked

Into a corner I was backed

Nothing could conceal

The fright they made me feel

Hiding in my room

Shrouded in the gloom

But in the corner it did stand

The instrument that held my hand

And taught a way to be free

Of domestic insanity

Heavy!

Like the beat of a drum

Heavy!

The thump of my strum

Ohhhh yeah, yeah

I learned my place

Heavy!

Playing the double bass

Like thunder when it struck,

The strings that I plucked

Resonating with my heart

As my family tore apart

Some people should never,

Be in a relationship together

Anger is infectious

Destroying all that's precious

But the deep beat of my bass

Kept the tears from my face

Lost in the heavy melody

And not in their tragedy

But in the corner it did stand

The instrument that held my hand

And taught a way to be free

Of domestic insanity

Heavy!

Like the beat of a drum

Heavy!

The thump of my strum

Ohhhh yeah, yeah

I learned my place

Heavy!

Playing the double bass

In the end it ran it's course

And ended in their divorce

But the scars of their fights

Last through the night

Ohhhhhhhh!

Heavy!

Like the beat of a drum.

Heavy!

The thump of my strum

Ohhhh yeah, yeah

I learned my place

Heavy!

Playing the double bass
