Feeling Gravity's Pull

R.E.M. · Fables Of The Reconstruction [1985]

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...

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.
