If you don't want me to destroy you Take a leaf out of my book Turn it 'round and have a look Because I don't want you to destroy me I'll commit myself to be In and out of every tree Gravity You just hold me down so quietly You just hold me back When the insects fly all around you Do you reach and aim a hit Or do you lie around a bit? And when the animals gather 'round you Do you ask them for the time Or do you run away and whine? Gravity You just hold me down so quietly You just hold me back Gravity You just hold me down so quietly You just pull me down to Earth Let me go into the depths of your infinity I can sense your presence in the vicinity La la la, la la la, sha la la la la La la la, la la la, sha la la la la La la la, la la la, sha la la la la La la la, la la la, sha la la la la La la la, la la la, sha la la la la La la la, la la la, sha la la la la La la la, la la la, sha la la la la La la la, la la la, sha la la la la La la la, la la la, sha la la la la
