Giving Gravity A Hand Lyrics

triple bypass
knocked on his ass
the doctor told him not to smoke
but late at night
he dims the light
puffing through the tube jammed on his throat

giving gravity a hand
feels all right, feels all right
giving gravity a hand
cutting life short by making it grand
giving gravity a hand
feels all right, feels all right
giving gravity a hand
one step closer to the promise land, yeah

scars from road rash
gifts ffom each crash
memory of road grinding my bone
i die inside
if i can't ride carving through the canyons flying home

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I reckon this song is deceivingly good. I'm pretty sure it's about humans doing things to make them feel good and better however by doing it, it pretty much means an early grave. Like the first guy has had problems with his heart and I also think he may have had a larengectomee 'the doctor told him not to smoke but late at night he dims the light puffing through the tube jammed on his throat'

The second guy is just aq normal driver who speeds but even though he's crashed before he continues to do so
