Lyrics
I fell asleep and read just about every paragraph
Read the scene where gravity is pulling me around
Peel back the mountains peel back the sky
Stomp gravity into the floor
It's a Man Ray kind of sky
Let me show you what I can do with it
Time and distance are out of place here
Step up, step up, step up the sky is open-armed
When the light is mine
I felt gravity pull
Somewhere near the end it said
You can't do this
I said, I can too
Ships sway, rivers shift
Oceans form and mountains drift
It's a Man Ray kind of sky
Let me show you what I can do with it
Step up, step up, step up the sky is open-armed
When the light is mine
I felt gravity pull (into my eyes)
Holding my head straight (looking down)
This is the easiest task I've ever had to do
I fell asleep and read just about every paragraph
Read the scene where gravity is pulling me around
Ships sway and rivers shift
Oceans form and mountains drift
It's a Man Ray kind of sky
Let me show you what I can do with it
Time and distance are out of place here
Step up, step up, step up the sky is open-armed
When the light is mine
I felt gravity pull (into my eyes)
Holding my head straight (looking down)
This is the easiest task I've ever had to do
Reason had harnessed the tame
Holding the sky in their arms
Gravity pulls me down
