Notes
This song was written and recorded at home in Nashville. It took about a half-hour one morning to complete. Everything came very fast, lyrics and melody, the vocal take is one of the first takes from that morning. We added live drums and overdubs in Toronto later, but most of what you hear is that morning.
Lyrics
He looked upon her
As she was
Something natural
Made of love
He put his heart
In its place
He saw the writing
On her face
Curiosity killed a man
Curiosity killed a man
Weight of the world
In the palm of your hand
Curiosity killed a man
In a green field
Full of grass
He used to run free
From the past
Now he hangs down
Like a branch
From an old tree
That still stands
Curiosity killed a man
Curiosity killed a man
Weight of the world
In the palm of your hand
Curiosity killed a man
Then he was way up in the clouds
Now he ain't never coming down
Curiosity killed a man
Curiosity killed a man
Weight of the world
In the palm of your hand
Curiosity killed a man
Curiosity killed a man
Curiosity killed a man
Weight of the world
The weight of the world
The weight of the world
The weight of the world
The weight of the world...
