Rickie Lee Jones - Gravity lyrics
[Rickie Lee Jones - Gravity lyrics]
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 "L" 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 ethyl
And now the arson smell of moon
Polishes a newsstand they empty the gas can
The watch the fire
If there are three girls running
There are three girls running nowhere
From remedies that you call random
We call by name and ask them to explain why
Oh, no I heard somebody hush up
Don't say nothing i thought I heard someone
Well we walk when we want to go
Nobody's gonna be there
Seen somebody, somebody be quiet
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
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
The force of gravity
A cold that will wipe the hope from your eyes
Young girl standing underneath the "L" 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 ethyl
And now the arson smell of moon
Polishes a newsstand they empty the gas can
The watch the fire
If there are three girls running
There are three girls running nowhere
From remedies that you call random
We call by name and ask them to explain why
Oh, no I heard somebody hush up
Don't say nothing i thought I heard someone
Well we walk when we want to go
Nobody's gonna be there
Seen somebody, somebody be quiet
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
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
