Lyrics Dennis DeYoung – Gravity

Gravity keeps pulling me down

I want to go to Houston, I want to fly to the stars
But I may not have the «Right Stuff» to make the trip to Mars
‘Cause it’s so hard for me to get my weight off the ground

I want to climb Mount Everest, and find my Shangri-La
Learn the secrets of the Universe from the Wise Man in Nepal
But it’s so hard for me — that mountain’s so steep
I know my nose will bleed, ’cause gravity don’t sleep
It don’t sleep…

I’m floating… I’m floating… above the crowd
No tensions… no pressures… I touch the clouds
I’m flying… I’m flying… in ecstasy
My problems can’t find me… zero gravity

Gravity keeps pulling me down
That gravity keeps pulling me down

I want to be a driver at the Monaco Grand Prix
Have the fastest car in Europe, and meet the Royal Family
But it’s so dangerous — it’s not the speed that I fear
It’s just so difficult to get my motor in gear

I want to be a millionaire, and own a baseball team
Have a private jet for shopping trips, and a chauffeured limousine
And pay no income tax, and be healthy and sound
But it’s my gravity — it keeps holding me down
