Nine days for a one-night stand
Eleven hours on a bullet train in Japan
On life’s edge, and in the palm of your hand
I feel the weight of the world but I’m a superman
An old priest, he paints on a hill
A naked woman rolls a note and snorts a sleeping pill
Your mind’s fed with your masterplan
Shaking hands while a fires on a businessman
But the night’s got a rhythm, a slow, dirty grind
A whisper that says, “leave your morals behind”
So, I’ll dance with a stranger, the rules there to bend
Feeling the weight of the world, I’ll rise again
The night sweats from your second sight
A false prophet saves your soul at the speed of light
Your dark heart but your mind is cleansed
Getting dirty in the back of your Mercedes Benz
Seven sins, cruel by design
Number three has my five senses working overtime
It’s not the money or the curse of this land
I feel the weight of the world but I’m a superman
But the night’s got a rhythm, a slow, dirty grind
A whisper that says, “leave your morals behind”
So, I’ll dance with a stranger, the rules there to bend
Feeling the weight of the world, I’ll rise again
A sin in slow motion, I’ll burn out like most
A stranger in silence, just gravity’s ghost
A movie, a magazine, or on my cell phone
But the weight of the world is just another load
But the night’s got a rhythm, a slow, dirty grind
A whisper that says, “leave your morals behind”
So, I’ll dance with a stranger, the rules there to bend
Feeling the weight of the world, I’ll rise again
Maybe releasing the load is part of the fall
Maybe the breaking is the best part of it all
I’ve been chasing the light, but I’m lost in the thrill
Feeling the weight of the world, but I took the wrong pill
