Jeffrey Lewis - Gravity Sue lyrics

Gravity Sue What's become of you Gravity sue Do I have to tell you again Two old men were walking Walking down the road Their boots were made of raw hide They carried a heavy load One of them was a robber The other was a cop One said to the other I think I'm gonna drop That's okay the first one said but I ain't gonna stop I met a girl on Bleecker street Underneath a lamp She said she had a speaker I said I had an amp We took em to Mcdougal and we opened up a socket I took off on a bicycle She took off on a rocket I took off my sneakers And she put em in her pocket Sue was such a downer that they called her gravity The only man who loved her was a thief from Tennessee They bought a little farm house And they burned it to the ground The thief went crazy screaming But Sue never made a sound Everyone knows gravity can only get you down I heard my phone a ringing I asked who's on the line He said it was a friend But it was no friend of mine So I'll tell you how it's going If you tell me how it went He said I have fifty dollars If you've got fifty cents And both of them looked quite the same After they'd been spent Old Freight 63 train Rolling down the track Rolling straight to Memphis And then it comes right back The engineer's a bad man Don't you mess with him He carries around a cannon And he votes republican The hobos back in Yonkers they all call him Devil Jim A prong with forty fingers Made a rat with twenty legs They walked into a restaurant And ate a dozen eggs The cook took out a spatula And waved it in the air By the time the sherrif came around Only bloody bones were there The paper said this sort of thing Just happens everywhere Everywhere When I heard that you were gone You know I hung my head and cried I walked out on the highway And I flagged myself a ride I got into the backseat And the door shut with a bang The old cowboy behind the wheel Said he came from Birmingham And all the way to New Orleans This was the song he sang Gravity Sue What's become of you Gravity Sue Do I have to tell you again Tell you again Gravity Sue What's become of you Gravity Sue Do I have to tell you again Tell you again Ooooooo Gravity Sue! What's wrong with you Gravity Sue Do I have to tell you again Tell you again
