Elvis Costello - Earthbound

I've grown so fond of gravity Sometimes I like to breathe And now that I've got used to it I find it hard to say "I will be leaving" The stars so distant The heavens so wide And it's no safe to even venture outside If you see me walking and I start to cry Don't wonder why I'm shaking my fist at the sky 'Cos I'm... Earthbound And my fare is unknown Earthbound And I feel like... I feel like leaving my home The forgotten rapture of sun drenched days Pray you didn't stay out in those poisonous rays And if you think that this is only a dream Jesus probably wants you for a sun-beam Mutant creatures washed up in the tide And if I don't weep it's only my alien pride Businessmen barter sky-scraping deals It's hard to credit that once this really was fields The ground opens up and swallows your appeals "Spare us the dangerous elements that it yields" The faint embrace of gravity Is causing my delay Yes, cancel my departure Looks like I'm here to stay Earthbound... and my fate is unknown Earthbound... and I feel like I'm losing my home.
