[00:02.00]The Faint - Fulcrum and Lever
[00:06.00]LRC by lzh ,from jiangxi pingxiang
[00:10.00]@ @
[00:13.00]
[00:14.56]I heard a bone snap
[00:16.74]When I was only about 9
[00:18.10]The laws of gravitation
[00:19.88]Were in adce a while
[00:21.68]But not long before they taught me a lesson
[00:24.01]In tough skin jeans like a Japanese Hessian
[00:27.29]I was 70 pounds
[00:28.88]Learning to fly
[00:30.65]I knew I couldn't do if I didn't try
[00:33.64]We called it "the field"
[00:35.51]Where we used to hang out
[00:36.99]A field of alfalfa in the back of a house
[00:40.06]With a slice of an old oak tree
[00:42.41]And a twelve-foot plank
[00:44.00]Put the board on top
[00:45.59]We got a flying machine!
[00:47.29]Oh my god! We can teeter on this!
[00:50.27]Or make a lever that can shoot me
[00:51.77]Into orbit and space!
[00:53.25]I've seen the circus
[00:54.84]I know how they do it
[00:56.18]With bent knees
[00:57.44]You got to jump
[00:58.68]Like you would from a trampoline
[01:00.12]
[01:12.98]We got up a ladder
[01:15.24]And the heaviest kid (5)
[01:16.69]He would climb up top (4)
[01:18.38]And count down like a (3) rocket ship
[01:20.78]To (2) fly me up
[01:21.06]He'd get to (1) T-minus zero
[01:23.88](0) Before he jumped
[01:25.81]And I was shot high in a vertical catapult
[01:27.86]Straight up and down
[01:29.70]I remember the view
[01:31.34]From over top of the house
[01:33.99]
[01:35.28]Gravity seems weak
[01:37.58]Until you look down
[01:39.40]
[01:51.10]I got in position
[01:53.17]I hadn't echoed the form
[01:55.01]If the judges were present
[01:56.71]They'd be holding up score cards
[01:59.00]Of 9's and 10's
[02:00.93]I must've lost a couple points
[02:02.49]For the landing I did
[02:04.15]I heard a loud snap
[02:05.64]But it didn't hurt
I looked the neighborhood
It looked like earth
But everybody's acting weird
Are they on meds?
Eating peanut butter sandwich
In a hospital bed
I started noticing
Strange phenomenon
(I started noticing)
Strange phenomenon
Is this planet the same one that I've been on
Everybody's bizarre and irrational
Even nurses on the quiet seem a bit off
Strange phenomenon
Everybody's deranged and I wonder what
Happened the day that I fell from the sky
If nobody changed then it must've been mine
