Feeling Gravitys Pull Lyrics

I fell asleep and read just about every paragraph

Read the scene where gravity is pulling me around
Peel back the mountains peel back the sky
Stomp gravity into the floor
It's a Man Ray kind of sky
Let me show you what I can do with it
Time and distance are out of place here

Step up, step up, step up the sky is open-armed
When the light is mine, I felt gravity pull

Somewhere near the end it said
"You can't do this", I said "I can, too"
Shift sway rivers shift, oceans fall and mountains drift
It's a Man Ray kind of sky
Let me show you what I can do with it

Step up, step up, step up the sky is open-armed
When the light is mine, I felt gravity pull onto my eyes
Holding my head straight (looking down)
This is the easiest task I've ever had to do

I fell asleep and read just about every paragraph

Read the scene where gravity is pulling me around
Shift the swaying river's shift
Oceans fall and mountains drift
It's a Man Ray kind of sky
Let me show you what I can do with it
Time and distance are out of place here

Step up, step up, step up the sky is open-armed
When the light is mine, I felt gravity pull onto my eyes
Holding my head straight (looking down)
This is the easiest task I've ever had to do
Reason had harnessed the tame
Holding the sky in their arms
Gravity pulls me down

Cover art for Feeling Gravitys Pull lyrics by R.E.M.

First, some thoughts about probable lyric mistakes. This is always thorny with Stipe, but I am pretty sure that it is "two ships sway.\' I am not at all certain that he is singing "holding my head straight," but I don\'t have a better answer. It is definitely "Gravity pulls me around," not "down" on the last verse. As to the meaning of the song, well, it\'s pretty ambiguous, but there\'s two hints. There is a famous Man Ray painting with a giant vagina looking thing in the sky. The other thing is that around this time, R.E.M. covered Pylon\'s "Crazy." This song is undoubtedly influenced by the Pylon song, "Gravity."
