Gravity is working against me And gravity wants to bring me down
Oh I'll never know what makes this man With all the love that his heart can stand Dream of ways to throw it all away
Oh Gravity is working against me And gravity wants to bring me down
Oh twice as much ain't twice as good And can't sustain like a one half could It's wanting more That's gonna send me to my knees [repeat]
Oh gravity, stay the hell away from me And gravity has taken better men than me (now how can that be?)
Just keep me where the light is Just keep me where the light is Just keep me where the light is C'mon keep me where the light is C'mon keep me where the light is Oh... where the light is! [repeat]
Times are hard You're afraid to pay the fee So you find yourself somebody Who can do the job for free When you need a bit of lovin' Cause your man is out of town That's the time you get me runnin' And you know I'll be around
I'm a fool to do your dirty work Oh yeah I don't wanna do your dirty work No more I'm a fool to do your dirty work Oh yeah
Light the candle Put the lock upon the door You have sent the maid home early Like a thousand times before Like the castle in its corner In a medieval game I foresee terrible trouble And I stay here just the same
Well I lost all I was And it's more than I've tried to be This living here with you And there's no one here besides me And it don't come easy And it don't come too hard But I always wind up Always standing here with you
Things just stay the same People just don't grow so fast And where once I was a child I've found I just can't stay like that
You say it doesn't matter If things just stay the same You say it doesn't matter And then maybe stay the same Or when It really doesn't matter If I really was to blame Really was to blame And sad that it shows
Stand up straight at the foot of your love I'll lift my shirt up Stand up straight at the foot of your love I'll lift my shirt up
I was carried to Ohio in a swarm of bees I never married but Ohio don't remember me
Lay my head on the hood of your car I take it too far Lay my head on the hood of your car I take it too far
I still owe money to the money to the money I owe I never thought about love When I thought about home I still owe money to the money to the money I owe The floors are falling out from everybody I know
I'm on a bloodbuzz Yes I am I'm on a blood buzz I'm on a bloodbuzz God I am I'm on a blood buzz
I was carried to Ohio in a swarm of bees I never married but Ohio don't remember me
I still owe money to the money to the money I owe I never thought about love When I thought about home I still owe money to the money to the money I owe The floors are falling out from everybody I know
I'm on a bloodbuzz Yes I am I'm on a blood... buzz I'm on a bloodbuzz God I am I'm on a blood... buzz
The sheep that was cut Cut for blood Was opened The sheep that was cut Cut for blood Was opened and dried Sheep that was cut and cut for blood Was opened and dried And stretched out Sheep that was cut and cut for blood Was opened, dried and stretched out Hung on the wall The sheep that was cut Cut for blood Was opened The sheep that was cut Cut for blood Was opened and dried Sheep that was cut and cut for blood Was opened and dried And stretched out Sheep that was cut and cut for blood Was opened, dried and stretched out Hung on the wall
Can you believe it? I've won no medals in this love game. Ive been resting on my laurels. Im a bad loser. Im a yard off my pace. Mmmm I smell rubber and I soon discovered that youre gone for good. My indiscretions made a bad impression. Guess I was misunderstood.
I thought you needed my loving, but it's my heart that you stole. I thought you wanted my money, but you plundered my soul. (Plundered my soul)
I started asking around but your friend's pretty lips were sealed. I wrote a letter full of trite confessions about wounds that heal. I heard some gossip, you've become an alcoholic, youre dryin out. So I phoned every clinic in the yellow pages, not a trace I found.
I thought you needed my loving, but it's my heart that you stole. I thought you wanted my money, but you plundered my soul. (You plundered my soul)
I hate quittin but Im close to admittin Im a sorry case. But on quiet reflection, my sad rejections not a total disgrace. But I do miss your quick repartee and the smile that lights up your face. You'll be a hard act to follow. A bitter pill to swallow. You'll be tough, oh youre tough to replace.
I thought you wanted my loving, but it's my heart that you stole. You were the trick up my sleeve. My ace in the hole. I thought you wanted my money, but you plundered my soul. Oh plundered my soul. Oh yeah! (You plundered my soul) You plundered my soul. Yeah! Yeah! (You plundered my soul)
There was light in the room. Then you left and it was through. Then the frost started in my toes and fingertips.
and it spread and it spread into my heart. and it spread and it spread into my heart.
Then for I don't know how long, I settled in to doing wrong. and as the wind fills the sail, came the thought to hurt myself.
and it spread and it spread into my home. and it spread and it spread into my song.
well there are no lines. separating the truth from the lies. Then you came back from space, with a brand new laugh and a different face. You took my hand and held it up, and shot my arm full of love.
and it spread and it spread into the world and it spread and it spread into the world.
well there are no lines. separating the truth from the lies.

Load the car and write the note Grab your bag and grab your coat Tell the ones that need to know We are headed north
One foot in and one foot back But it don't pay, to live like that So i cut the ties and i jumped the tracks For never to return
Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in Are you aware the shape I'm in My hands they shake my head it spins Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
When at first I learned to speak I used all my words to fight With him and her and you and me Oh but its just a waste of time Yeah its such a waste of time
That woman shes got eyes that shine Like a pair of stolen polished dimes She asked to dance I said it's fine I'll see you in the morning time
Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in Are you aware the shape im in My hands they shake my head it spins Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
Three words that became hard to say I and love and you What you were then, I am today Look at the things I do
Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in Are you aware the shape I'm in My hands they shake my head it spins Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
Dumbed down and numbed by time and age Your dreams to catch the world, the cage The highway sets the travelers stage All exits look the same
Three words that became hard to say I and love and you I and love and you I and love and you
