lyrics

Well They Say Mr. Weitz is all gone
but you can't know a thing you ain't thought upon
when you're digging for gold, boys
you must soil your hands
and listen for music you don't understand
well they say Mr. Weitz is all gone
he was gone from the first time he met her
he's a mystery, a fox, a china box
he's the first one to tell you he don't give a damn
but I know better

Well they say that love is unsure
like it's just a disease without a cure
a change in the weather a can of warm beer
will shatter your heart or make everything clear
well they say Mr. Weitz is all gone
since the girl never answered his letter
he's a mystery, a fox, a china box
he's the first one to tell you he don't give a damn
but I know better

You know and I know that if you don't know you're gone
then you're gone
my man Mr. Weitz is taking a header
I know that he thought he was still going to get her

On the day it darkened around here
Mr. Weitz lived a day like it was a year
I watched as he strained to wash off the stains
took off his clothes to sleep in the rain
well I watched 'til my wine was all gone
but to me he just got himself wetter
he's a mystery, a fox, a china box
he's the first one to tell you he don't give a damn
but I know better
