Fulcrum and Lever Lyrics by The Faint

Fasciinatiion

2008

[Verse 1]
I heard a bone snap when I was only about nine
The laws of gravitation were in abeyance a while
But not long before they taught me a lesson
In Tuffskin jeans like a Japanese Hessian
I was 70 pounds, learning to fly, I knew I couldn't do it if I didn't try
We called it the "field" where we used to hang out
A field of alfalfa behind the back of our house
With a slice of an old oak tree and a 12 ft. plank
Put the board on top we got flying machine
Oh my god we could teeter on this
Or make lever that could shoot me into orbital space
I'd seen the circus and i saw how they do it
With bent knees you got to jump like you would from a trampoline
[Interlude]
Strange phenomenon
Strange phenomenon
[Verse 2]
We got out the ladder and the heaviest kid
He would climb up top and count down like
A rocket ship to fire me up
He'd get to t-minus zero before he'd jump
And i was shot high in a vertical catapult
Straight up and down, I remember the view from over top of the house
Gravity seems weak until you look down
[Verse 3]
I got in position, I had impeccable form
If the judges were present they'd be holding up score cards
With 9's and 10's unless I lose a couple points
For the landing I did
I heard a loud snap but it didn't hurt
I looked at the neighbourhood, It looked like earth
But everybody's acting weird are they out of meds?
Eating a peanut butter sandwich in a hospital bed
I started noticing:
[Outro]
Strange phenomenon
Strange phenomenon
Is this planet the same one that I been on?
Everybody's bizarre and irrational
Even nurses on the clock 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 my mind
