Jim Caroll - Wicked Gravity Lyrics

The gravity here is just sick for revenge

Its like my lungs are filled with chains . . .

The sky seems so low,

It hasnt moved this slow

Since the virgins, since the virgins went dancing for the rain



You know the stars in the night

Theyre like the holes in the cave

Like the ceiling of a bombed-out church

But gravity blocks my screams

Its like an enemys 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

Id watch the stars move close

Id watch the earth recede



I wanna drift above the borders against my will

I wanna sleep where the angels dont pass

But now my lips are blue

Gravity does it to you

Its like theyre pressed against a mirrored glass



I want my will and capability to meet inside the region

Where this gravity dont mean a thing

Its where the angels break through . . .

Its where they bring it to you

Its 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 doesnt 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.
