Lyrics
You can dance
You can make me laugh
You've got X-ray eyes
You know how to sing
You're a diplomat
You've got it all
Everybody loves you
You can charm the birds
Out of the sky but I
I got one thing
You always know just what to say
And when to go
But I got one thing
You can see in the dark
But I got one thing
I loved you better
Last night I woke up
Saw this angel
He flew in my window
And he said, "Girl
Pretty proud of yourself, huh?"
And I looked around and I said, "Who me?"
And he said, "Higher you fly, the faster you fall"
He said
Send it up
Watch it rise
See it fall
Gravity's rainbow
Send it up
Watch it rise
See it fall
Gravity's angel
Why these mountains?
Why this sky?
This long road?
This ugly train?
Well, he was an ugly guy
With an ugly face
And also ran
In the human race
And even God got sad
Just looking at him
And at his funeral all his friends
Stood around looking sad
But they were really thinking
Of all the ham and cheese sandwiches
In the next room
And everybody used to hang around him
And I know why
They said
"There but for the grace of the angels"
But why?
Why these mountains?
Why this sky?
Send it up
Watch it rise
See it fall
Gravity's rainbow
Send it up
Watch it rise and fall
Gravity's angel
But we were just laying there
And this ghost
Of your other lover walked in
And stood there
Made of thin air
Full of desire
Look, look, look
You forgot to take your shoes
And there's your book
And there's your pen
Sitting on the table
Why these mountains?
Why this sky?
This long road?
This empty room?
Why these mountains?
Why this sky?
This long road?
This empty room?
