[Intro]
Big gravity keeping me down and the
Big gravity keeping me down and the
Big gravity keeping me down
Big gravity keeping me down
Big gravity keeping me down
Big gravity keeping me down
[Verse 1]
I used to feel I could bounce on my feet like
I took three steps on the moon
I could leap off mountains and slide down craters
And speak with a silvery spoon
I could glide on treetops and fight all night
With the monkeys and the baboons
I could blindly take any road I saw
And the world seemed comfortably small
[Chorus]
And I danced with the lemurs under moonlight
And I danced with the lemurs under moonlight
Danced with the lemurs under moonlight
All night long, all night long, all night long, all night long

[Post-Chorus]
Big gravity keeping me down and the
Big gravity keeping me down and the

I used to dance with the owls and thе monkeys

All night long, all night long, all night long, all night long
All night long
Danced with the lemurs under moonlight
Danced with the lemurs under moonlight
Danced with the lemurs under moonlight
All night long
[Outro]
Big gravity keeping me down and the
Big gravity keeping me down and the
Big gravity keeping me down and the
Big gravity keeping me down and the
Big gravity
Big gravity keeping me down and the
Big gravity
Big gravity

This is another personal reflection on my life and the process of ageing. That sounds grim, but I feel like it’s a light song at the same time. I was surprised that I wrote about that topic—it feels like something I wouldn’t normally let out. At first, it felt too personal to even put out. I thought...
