Lead

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse] A lead weight, My troubles are pullin' me down, A clipped wing, I can't fly away, ah nah, A black hole, Of anxious catastrophe, Lurks beneath, The surface of the sea, [Interlude] [Pre-Chorus] Ooooohhh--! My mind is swimming, Around and around, And around, (And around, and around, and around, and around) [Chorus] Boots of lead, Drag me, Drag me, I anxiously breathe, Lookin' for escape, I grasp for anything, Lookin' for the things, I forget to remember, In the maelstrom, Of the pounding drum, Of my mind that won't ceeeease! [Breakdown] [Pre-Chorus] Ooooohhh--! My mind is swimming, Around and around, And around, (And around, and around, and around, and around) [Chorus] Boots of lead, Drag me, Drag me, I anxiously breathe, Lookin' for escape, I grasp for anything, Lookin' for the things, I forget to remember, In the maelstrom, Of the pounding drum, Of my mind that won't ceeeease! [Chorus] I said, These boots of lead, Drag me, And throw me, (Around and around, and around and around) [Interlude] [Refrain] The electric buzz, The silicon drugs, Leave me numb, sometimes... Yeah, I can sink down, And forget the sounds, That nature brings, I should step out, At least once in awhile... And remember the stars, Above the sound of cars, And the blinding lights, Of city nights... Maybe the feel of wind, And the song of calm, Can, At least, Slightly lighten the weight, Of these lead boots I've got on... [Outro] My mind keeps swimming... Around... (and around, and around... and... a... round...)
