The Spring Standards - Heavy Home lyrics

Satellites and radio towers Lightbulbs in the deep Tiny artificial eyes Protect you while you sleep CHORUS And tell your mama That you've gotta go And even though it's cold outside It's the only place that you know It's a heavy home Three steps forward, one step back Eggshells 'neath your feet Turning all that's gray to black The daylight's great defeat CHORUS And when you get there There's a tall drink of water And a bitter pill It's all you get so choke it down And when you get you've had your fill You'll smile your crooked smile for old time's sake And find your place in the sadness Don't walk away in the dark It's not all gray in the sadness I can tell it when you speak You shiver everywhere Paper walls let the nighttime through But there ain't enough to share CHORUS
