I summon you

remember the weight of the world as the sound that we used to buy
     on cassette and 45
     and now this little girl
     she says "will we make it at all?"
     800 miles is a drive

     yeah you've got the weight of the world coming down like a mother's eye
     and all that you get
     all that you can give is a cold goodbye
     the law enforcement's impressed you've survived to this age
     strapped up soldiers
     they'll lock you in a cage
     without goodbye
     for a nickel bride

     but ahhhhh no, where are you tonight
     and how did we get here 
     it's too late to break it off
     I need a release 
     the signal's a cough
     but that don't get me off
     I summon you to appear, my love

     it don't get me off 
     I summon you here, my love

remember the weight of the world as the sound that we used to buy
     and all that you can
     all that you can give is a cold goodbye
     the law enforcement's impressed you've survived to this age
     strapped up soldiers
     they'll lock you in a cage
     without goodbye
     for a nickel bride

but ahhhh no, where are you tonight
     and how did we get here 
     it's too late to break it off
     I need a release 
     the signal's a cough
     but that don't get me off
     I summon you here, my love

uh-huh
oooh uh-huh
     I summon you here, my love
got the weight of the world
