Wonder why
When you throw a football / really far
It just falls
In a sort of arc, and / hits some car
Goin' down
It just can't stay long / off the ground
It really should be / flying high
In the sky
In the sky / Flying high

Gravity
When you climb a wall and you only fall
It's gravity
Why you do not fly when you jump real high
It's heavy air
That's holding you down so you're
Going nowhere

Gravity
When you have to hurl on the Tilt-A-Whirl
It's gravity
Why you do not fly when you jump real high
It's heavy air
That's holding you down so you're
Going nowhere

[instrumental]

Every day
People shoot toy rockets / that are worth
Lots of dough
And they're mad cause it won't / leave the Earth
Fallin' down
And it just won't stay long / off the ground
It really should be / flying high
In the sky
In the sky / Flying high

Gravity
When you climb a wall and you only fall
It's gravity
Why you do not fly when you jump real high
It's heavy air
That's holding you down so you're
Going nowhere

Gravity
When you have to hurl on the Tilt-A-Whirl
It's gravity
Why you do not fly when you jump real high
It's heavy air
That's holding you down so you're
Going nowhere (repeat and fade)
