Wicked Gravity Lyrics by Jim Caroll

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.
