Lyrics

Gravity Worship

The sustained belief

In manpowered flight

Draws an eager crowd

I decided to launch

But without wings

It's a divine and helpless spin

Gravity dictates

And worship defines

Gravity dictates

But worship defines

The time to plan

He is the holy ghost

The streets are clipper

Follow their prompt

Gravity dictates

And worship defines

Gravity dictates

But worship defines

Last ditch dieters

Reach for their chair

Empty white-fisted

Bumbling rushers

Diving in baskets

They bury thеir treasure

The journеy's curtailed

You've got to meet the horizon

Gravity dictates

But worship defines

Gravity dictates

But worship defines

The journey's curtailed

You've got to meet the horizon

It's not in the brochure

The perspective has frozen

The journey's curtailed

And it's not in the brochure

Gravity dictates
