Heavy Things Lyrics - Phish

Things are falling down on me 

Heavy things I could not see 

When I finally came around 

Something small would pin me down 

When I tried to step aside 

I moved to where they hoped I'd be 

Vanessa calls me on the phone 

Reminding me I'm not alone 

I fuss and quake and cavitate 

I try to speak and turn to stone 

Telly reaches through my vest 

To do the thing that she does best 

She probes and tears my ventricles 

Steals my one remaining breath 

Things are falling down on me 

Heavy things I could not see 

When I finally came around 

Something small would pin me down 

When I tried to step aside 

I moved to where they hoped I'd be 

Stumbling as I fall from grace 

She needs my vision to replace 

Her ailing sight throughout the night 

Leaving two holes in my face 

Mary was a friend I'd say 

'Till one summer day 

She borrowed everything I owned 

And then simply ran away 

Things are falling down on me 

Heavy things I could not see 

When I finally came around 

Something small would pin me down 

When I tried to step inside 

I moved to where they hoped I'd be
