Selected Lyrics

The vast majority of Sylvian lyrics can be found at davidsylvian.net and slowfire. I'll generally only transcribe newly released songs that aren't up elsewhere (or ones that contain interesting background samples or vocals) and live versions of unreleased songs.

Where’s Your Gravity?

Track #15 - A Victim Of Stars, 1982-2012 // By: David Sylvian

Baby’s
Putting on her makeup
Her mouth is
Swollen as a rose
Countdown
She wraps her legs around him
Weightless
She’s taking off her clothes

Candy
Colours in her pocket
Bright children
Hiding in their rooms
Soft talks
Spread about her pillows
Self-annihilation
Couldn’t come too soon

Where’s your gravity?
Where’s your mind?
Share your thoughts with me
Waste my time

Slowdown
Nothing’s gonna save you
Ice cream
Dripping from your spoon
Oh, but come now
You’re always telling stories
Barefoot
Walking on the moon

Wake up
And someone’s bound to tell you
Your pretty
Face has gone to hell
So find them
Something you can trade with
Handmake
Something you can sell

Where’s your gravity?
Where’s your mind?
Share your thoughts with me
Waste my time

Where’s your gravity?
Where’s your mind?
Share your thoughts with me
Waste my time
