Heavy When I Need It
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


[Chorus]:

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



[Chorus]:

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
