gravity

[Verse 1: Montaigne]

Would you live in a house with me?

Plant your feet on solid ground with me?

No more reaching for the stars

Just the trees in the yard

I would give almost anything

Like my teeth or some oxygen

To be looking at you

At sunset, cooking food

[Chorus: Montaigne, Montaigne & David Byrne]

It's hard to be religious

It's easy to devote myself

To you

To you

[Verse 2: David Byrne]

I could live in a shack for two

A little house with a yard would do

All that striving to succeed

Here is everything I need

I have learned how to sing this song

How to cook, is the taste too strong?

As the starlight fades away

Look at this, it's okay

[Chorus: Montaigne, Montaigne & David Byrne]

It's hard to be religious

It's easy to devote myself

To you

To you

[Bridge: Montaigne & David Byrne]

The stars arе indifferent

The sky always changеs

Celestial bodies

All make themselves strangers

Adventure is lovely

But I'm much too tired now

As I sleep, I imagine

A book with no pages

A story unfolding

On improvised stages

Much singing and dancing, but

Can we go home now?

[Verse 3: David Byrne]

I have travelled around the world

I have seen how the cosmos swirled

It is big, but here we are

Just as beautiful as stars

[Verse 4: Montaigne]

Would you live in a house with a garden?

Would you work on your play in the study?

Would you plant some rocket for our salads?

Would you worship gravity with me?
