Elvis Costello - Earthbound lyrics

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 not 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 Cause I'm... Earthbound And my fate 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 sunbeam 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 once that this was really 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 feel like I'm losing my home
