lyrics

The weight of a woman
Is three oxen times a single silken breadth
The point of an arrow
Divided by a fishing net

The weight of a woman
Is five hundred times what you could hope to carry
Or to get a piece of the Colosseum
Thirty five Decembers of this shit

The weight of a woman
Is pure mercury times nitrogen recovered from the spill
A thunder times a willow tree
Silhouetted on a hill

The weight of a woman
Came in here and we danced just like children
Disappeared for a while
And we smoked just like Turks
Drank just like jerks
Underwater
As the cancers killed
As the cancers killed

The weight of a woman can change
From a chariot to a quill
From a Christian to a Jew
From a coin to a bed
That carries you

The weight of a woman’s kinda short
If you don’t take it to heart
If you don’t take it to heart
If you don’t take it to heart
