I
try to imagine another planet, another sun
Where I don't look like me
And everything I do matters

Gravity
(Rickie
Lee Jones)
There
are wounds that stir up the force of gravity
A cold that will wipe the hope from your eyes
Young girl standing underneath the "El" train
Standing there, watching the trains go by ...
You think that nobody knows where you are, girl
You think that nobody knows how this feels
Alone, in a world of your own, there you are girl
The small things float to the top of gravity
Gravity
I'm telling you where it is
Gravity
We
walk in easy snakes
Through the roulette rattling of the alley
And now the arson smell of moon polishes a newsstand
They empty the gas can, they watch the fire
If there are three girls running -
There are three girls running nowhere
From remedies that you call random
and we call by name
And ask them to explain why
I heard somebody
Be
quiet, Don't say nothing
I thought I heard someone
Well we walk where we want to
there's nobody gonna be there
Nobody's there ...
Nobody
I
could not say no to the light of my desire
I'm not asking so much
But you roll-call the passion
His lips ? -No
His back ? -No
His face? - No, no, no
I'm not asking so much..
I try to imagine another planet, another sun
Where I don't look like me
And everything I do matters
instead of there, where you are, girl
In your green paint with a pin to pull
At the fingertips of gravity
Gravity
I'm telling you where it is
Gravity
