Is This Heavy Enough For You? (02/25/94)

Is this heavy enough for you?
Is this heavy enough for you?
I've got this rock in the other room
Would you like me to hang it around your neck?
Is this heavy enough for you?
Is this heavy enough for you?

Is this heavy enough for you?
Is this heavy enough for you?
Do you think if I hold onto you for long enough you would drown?
Do you think I am heavy enough to pull you down?
Is this heavy enough for you?
Is this heavy enough for you?

Is this heavy enough for you?
Is this heavy enough for you?
Would you like me to plop it on the scale?
How far do you think that little red needle would rise?
Is this heavy enough for you?
Is this heavy enough for you?

Ar you afraid if I took a little weight off of you you'd start to fly?
Are you afraid if I untied your arms you'd raise up wings?
I have to admit I'm getting a little tired
Why don't you carry this thing for awhile?
Let it turn your fingers black for a change
Let it twist your back until you think that it might break
Let your mind struggle while it pins you flat
Let it seem to grow in weight as time drags on
Let you dream of letting go while tightening your grip
Let you fear the sky and hate the earth

That you're held to?

Isn't this just a way to make you stare?
Have you been gazing at my swinging watch too long?
Maybe it isn't really my place to ask
But it's been itchin' at me itchin' at me
Itchin' at me
Is this heavy enough for you?
Is this heavy enough for you?
