lyrics

a strange new phenomenon
is rising into view
affecting the world of physics
and everything you do

it's a friction like no other
that's ever been detected
an annoying cellular illness
it appears we're all infected

chorus:
things don't slide like they used to
and gravity just doesn't care
no, things don't slide like they used to
and it doesn't seem fair

your salt shaker, your coffee cup
your barstool and your table
will test your last ounce of patience
as they give up being stable

chorus:
things don't slide like they used to
and gravity just doesn't care
no, things don't slide like they used to
and it doesn't seem fair

bridge:
so is the universe coming apart
separating at every seam?
or is it the mother of all illusions
manifesting from a dream

chorus:
things don't slide like they used to
and gravity just doesn't care
no, things don't slide like they used to
and it doesn't seem fair

about

chris hardy world Edgefield, South Carolina

I write songs myself. I record them all myself. I play all the instruments (including real actual drums) myself. I sound like a band yet I am just one little guy. I do everything myself - the only job you have is to listen and enjoy! Isn't that easy?
