When you get a new piece of Musical Gear... Be it hardware, software, rack-mount, stomp box, and so on... Put away the instructions aside from the set-up and throw the troubleshoot guide into the trash... Accidents and ignorance creates beautiful mistakes... (Jaco Pastorius : 1951 - 1987)

it's a Friday morning cold and grey
this time of year i like it that way
do you

i look in the mirror
and the man i see
so far from what i dreamed he'd be
for you

how did i sink to the bottom of the jar
burned out and frozen like the light from a distant star
i'm trying to swim but my arms and legs won't move me

silence is the last retreat
it won't surrender
it won't give into defeat
would you

what is it worth
this temporary fix
you work a lifetime for this grubby bag of tricks
i'm tryin to find you
but you're nowhere near me

and...gravity won't keep my spirit down
gravity won't keep my spirit down
gravity can't keep my spirit down
only half of me is ever on the ground

i tried to reach you fifty times
but all my words and all my rhymes just flew
and every act of kindness knows
the place to which we all must go
too soon

i wanna get back to the surface for awhile
wanna hear a voice that causes me to smile
i know you're out there
and i'm coming to find you

and...gravity won't keep my spirit down
gravity won't keep my spirit down
gravity can't keep my spirit down
only half of me is ever on the ground

Gravity Can't Keep My Spirit Down - Peter Himmelman
