Wicked Gravity

Lyrics

The gravity here is just sick for revenge
 It's like my lungs are filled with chains . . .
 The sky seems so low,
 It hasn't moved this slow
 Since the virgins, since the virgins went dancing for the rain
 You know the stars in the night
 They're like the holes in the cave
 Like the ceiling of a bombed-out church
 But gravity blocks my screams
 It's like an enemy's dreams
 My guardians quit
 They quit before they started their search
 Refrain:
 I want a world without gravity
 It could be just what I need
 I'd watch the stars move close
 I'd watch the earth recede
 I wanna drift above the borders against my will
 I wanna sleep where the angels don't pass
 But now my lips are blue
 Gravity does it to you
 It's like they're pressed against a mirrored glass
 I want my will and capability to meet inside the region
 Where this gravity don't mean a thing
 It's where the angels break through . . .
 It's where they bring it to you
 It's where silence, silence can teach me to sing
 Repeat Refrain 2 times
 I wanna lay beneath these sheets and never turn blue
 I wanna hold you, hold you tight but never touch
 I want some pure, pure white; hey, we can nod all night
 We can do it without thinking too much
 I want the dilettantes and parvenues to choke on my wrists
 They think the pearls I wear are pills
 I want their gravity to shatter . . . but it really doesn't matter
 I got something in my eye that kills!
 Repeat Refrain
 Wicked, wicked, wicked, wicked gravity . . .
 Wicked, wicked, wicked, wicked gravity . . .
 Wicked, wicked, wicked, wicked.
