Heavy Woman
Electric Six Lyrics

Every day she gets by
The woman leads an ordinary life

It's just another day closer to the day she die
Each day brings her closer to her death

The day is passing her by
She is living a monotonous life

And the night is just a sequence of her heavy cries
She is unhappy and cries every night

Heavy woman
She is overweight

[Ah!]
A sudden exclamation

Heavy woman
She is overweight

When she turns around
Her movements cause tremors

Tremors where she stood on the ground
Her weight causes vibrations on the ground

And I promise you you never heard a sound like the sound
It's a unique and unusual sound

Of heavy woman thighs
Her thighs are particularly heavy

She don't see no reason why
She doesn't understand why she can't attract men

That a man can't get a horn with the heavy life
She thinks men should still find her attractive despite her weight

Don't she know she don't fly?
She isn't attractive or desirable

She just keeps on shooting butter from her butter knife
She is unhealthy and eats unhealthy food

When she sat on the ?
Incomplete line (presumably something broke)

On the floor it snapped
Something broke under her weight

And I promise you you never want to find yourself trapped
It's uncomfortable and unpleasant to be trapped under her weight

In heavy woman thighs
Her thighs are particularly heavy

Heaviness never lies
Her weight is evident and doesn't deceive

And heavy dreams lay beneath her heavy eyes
She dreams of a better life but is weighed down by her current one

Yeah she was once a little girl
She was once young and innocent

But somewhere down the line she fell into a heavy world
She gained weight and became unhappy

When she leans down
Her movements cause tremors

You can feel it in a neighboring town
Her weight causes vibrations in surrounding areas

Then the scientists might think that it will affect the tides
Her weight has a tremendous effect on her surroundings

When heavy woman dies
Her death will have an impact on the world
