Heavy (When I Need It) Songtext

von Sleater-Kinney

Light on my feet, light on my feet
Heavy when I need it, heavy when I need it
And I'm light on my feet, I'm light on my feet
Take it when I want it, get it then I flaunt it
And I'm light on my feet, I'm light on my feet
Heavy when I need it, I'll take it when I see it
And I'm light on my feet, I'm light on my feet
Heavy when I'm hunting, weighed down by the wanting

Lights shine them on, bright and clean
They made a whole damn mess of things
And freaks own the world
Oh, it'll be a future of perversity
It's not what we have, it's what we give up

Invite myself, invite myself in
No one else will take me, won myself a trophy
And invite myself in, invite myself in
Sewn right at the seams, the breaks are in between
I'm light on my feet, I'm light on my feet
Heavy I can feel it, done if I can't wheel it
And invite myself in, invite myself in
No one else can take me, heavy from the waiting

Lights shine them on, bright and clean
They made a whole damn mess of things
And freaks own the world
Oh, it'll be a future of perversity
It's not what we have, it's what we give up

Lights shine them on, bright and clean
We made a whole damn mess of things
And freaks own the world
Oh, it'll be a excessive temerity
Fear my own virtue, (?) now

Lights, what'chu looking at?
‘Cause I'm not really sure just what you're looking at
All I know is I'm not ready, come right here and make it heavy
Lights, what'chu looking at?
‘Cause I'm not really sure just what you're looking at
All I know is I'm unsteady, come right here and make it heavy
Lights, what'chu looking at?
Yeah, I'm not really sure just what you're looking at
Yeah, I'm not really sure just what you're looking at
