Wicked Gravity
The gravity here is just sick for revengeIt's like my lungs are filled with chains . . .The sky seems so low,It hasn't moved this slowSince the virgins, since the virgins went dancing for the rainYou know the stars in the nightThey're like the holes in the caveLike the ceiling of a bombed-out churchBut gravity blocks my screamsIt's like an enemy's dreamsMy guardians quitThey quit before they started their search[Chorus:] I want a world without gravityIt could be just what I needI'd watch the stars move closeI'd watch the earth recedeI want to drift above the borders against my willI want to sleep where the angels don't passBut now my lips are blueGravity does it to youIt's like they're pressed against a mirrored glassI want my will and capability to meet inside the regionWhere this gravity don't mean a thingLetras de cancionesIt's where the angels break through . . .It's where they bring it to youIt's where silence, silence can teach me to singRepeat Refrain 2 timesI want to lay beneath these sheets and never turn blueI want to hold you, hold you tight but never touchI want some pure, pure white; hey, we can nod all nightWe can do it without thinking too muchI want the dilettantes and parvenues to choke on my wristsThey think the pearls I wear are pillsI want their gravity to shatter . . . but it really doesn't matterI got something in my eye that kills!Repeat [Chorus:] Wicked, wicked, wicked, wicked gravity . . .Wicked, wicked, wicked, wicked gravity . . .Wicked, wicked, wicked, wicked.
