No food on my table. And no shoes to go on my feet. No food on my table. And no shoes to go on my feet. My children cry for mercy. They got no place to call your own.

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, 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]
