lyrics

she kissed my neck as her fingers tore into my skin
and whispered she loved me as her fingers tore into my skin
afterwards she purred and told me all the bad luck she had had
and I was real stoned, but it sounded like she called me dad

oh, gravity
you've got to loosen up
don't be so serious

we smiled goodbye and she told me my shirt was inside-out
I mumbled that it wasn't, but what it covered was, there was no doubt
she said it didn't matter, I was only going home anyway
I said that's true, but knew that it wasn't as I drove home the wrong way

oh, moonlight
don't you look at me that way
whatever you're thinking
I've got much worse things to say

I tried to be true, but weakness pushed the pedal to the floor
I turned up the radio so I didn't have to hear me anymore
when suddenly a kitten jumped in front of me and knew I was a liar
I heard it's bones break, and felt her crushed between the treads of my tire

oh, gravity
you've got to loosen up
oh, karma
I cried the whole way home
the whole way home

Other times he expels far-out electric rock that is primal and space-ward, with heavy, psychedelic sounds. Both sides are focused, catchy, and ready to be eaten by your ears... ... more
