What do I know / I sat under a cloud / I looked up / 'fraid to look down
I knew I'd cry if I didn't clear / I knew I'd die if I didn't hear you say
Forget that fear of gravity
You take that dream away from me / I'll have trouble
getting through the day

Get a little savagery in your life
I'll have trouble tying my shoes
Forget that fear of gravity
I'll laugh when it rains and dampens my hair

Get a little savagery in your life
In my cloud / I walk close never fearing the edge
Never waiting at the bend / never two-faced at a crossroads
Never wanting the edge of my cloud / tender is the night--see

Forget that fear of gravity gravity gravity
Forget that fear of gravity
And I'll sit in the window without a cigarette
Get a little savagery in your life
