Newton Told Me

Who told Newton to wait for the apple to fall?
It's not a question of gravity
It's a question if independence

And why won't you say that you're cold?
And why won't you say that you're cold?
Why won't you say that it's all overturned?

I peeled out of Brisbane for Memphis
And a world disappeared
Goodbye to hibiscus sound debts
And a future of beer

And why won't you say that you're cold?
And why won't you say that you're cold?
Why won't you say that it's all overturned?

And then it all went black
With the flap of a raven's wing
And where we'd been sitting in the garden
Is just an empty swing
(empty swing)
(empty swing)

Who told Newton to wait for the apple to fall?
It's not a question of gravity
It's a question if independence

So why won't you say that you're cold?
And why won't you say that you're cold?
Why won't you say that it's all overturned?

And that's why you went to the snow
And that's why you ran from the snow
Why won't you say that it's all overturned?

Say that it's all overturned
