lyrics

picture a sheet, a big big rubber sheet
the earth's in the middle
everybody's on top
thus the earth can influence the way we drop

they think they're pretty great
they think their theory's something special
electromagnetism, the strong force and the weak
but the single most famous force is the one that's not

don't worry
we won't shoot off into space
don't worry
i asked you to stay
but your mass made you weight
all i need is the air that i breathe
and it's stuck to the world
via earth's gravitational pull

9.8 meters/second squared
is the rate of gravity's acceleration
and that's true from the blue whale to rickettsia
(rickettsia is the world's smallest living organism)
on my TI-85 i did a foot-conversion calculation
got 32.152166
(6666667)

gravity's action is proportional to mass
but its counterpart inertia
is proportional to mass, too
the rate is a constant
and we can see that clearly
and since its cause is geometric
it's never going to stop
so you never have to wonder if people will shoot off
into space
like jobeth williams
and timothy leary
