Gravity always gets me down
no matter where I am
Climbing fifty stories high
or strapping in a seat to fly
in a fighter jet across the sky
I’ll never understand just why
Gravity gets me down
Gravity always gets me down
no matter what I do
When bouncing on a pogo stick
or riding roller coasters quick
Performing aeronautics tricks
until the G force makes me sick
Gravity gets me down
Gravity always gets me down
No matter how I try
Orbiting twice the speed of sound
in a space suit high above the ground
when down is up and up is down
and everyone is floating round
Gravity gets me down
Gravity always gets me down
No matter what the scene
This seriousness is just a drag
I’d rather hear some bright young wag
show levity and tell a gag
than fly the white surrender flag
but gravity gets me down
