Lyrics

There's a little old man, who can get his hands
On a plan to sell the planet
Walks the walk, and he talks the talk
?___If I had the world she could have it

For every answer there are ways to shoot it down
?__Well it's a greenbacks?, a green light suggested we get this new thing off the ground

But I can't stand the gravity, can't stand it
The way you handle it, I got to hand it to you
No I can't stand the gravity, can't stand it
Just like you planned it, I'm coming out of my shoes

I'll shudder, and wind me up
Like a toy on my first day of school
Stranded, abandoned
?__It's a ____ a line of fools?

For every question there are answers to spare
We stopped at the convenience store without convenience we ain't going anywhere

No I can't stand the gravity, can't stand it
The way you handle it, I got to hand it to you
No I can't stand the gravity, can't stand it, just like you planned it
I'm coming out of my shoes

So far from home
Just drifting up alone
Just burning away
Up into space

?Shine down in a dream?
Tell me whatcha need
Just a circuitry
It's only sanctity
Live how you wanna live

Just like a candlelight
Like a shooting star, still flickering, still glowing
The room is still on fire

For every question there are ways to shoot it down
Put your feet down on the cold ground
I do believe that this time you are comin' round

I can't stand the gravity, can't stand it
The way you handle it, I come and hand it to you
No I can't stand the gravity, can't stand it
Just like you planned it, I'm coming out of my shoes

No I can't stand the gravity, can't stand it
The way you handle it, I got to hand it to you
No I can't stand the gravity, can't stand it, don't understand it
I'm coming out of my shoes

?____?
Go get whatcha need
Just a circuitry
It's only sanctity
Live how you wanna live
Like a candle light, shooting star, still flickering
You can always take your time, unless the room's on fire
Make it last a while, still flowin'
Floating on a summer breeze in the warm wind, blowing
Like a dandelion starting to disintegrate
