Play this song on YouTube.

"Gravity" is a song by Type O Negative, included on their second album The Origin of the Feces, released in 1992. This is the altered version of "Gravitational Constant: G = 6.67 × 10−8 cm−3 gm−1 sec−2" played as the final track of the last album Slow, Deep and Hard.

The only difference from the original version is added sound of mermaid and ambulance siren at the end about Pete saying about that there's may be a bomb in the building and urging people to leave the building instead of just standing in place, mirroring the experiences at the Slow, Deep and Hard tour. There's a short break around four minutes into it where Pete announces the crowd 'relax, relax' before the third canto starts. The first two cantos of this song are about suicide. The first canto, "Unjustifiable Existence", contains hard rock riffs, while the fourth canto, "Antimatter: Electromechanical Psychedelicosis", is instrumental. The second canto, "Crush", is organ-fested.

Lyrics

[Canto I: Unjustifiable Existence. "{{{2}}}"]
One two three four
I don't wanna live no more

Well I've got no more reason to live
And I've got no more love to give
Tonight's the night
I'll paint the town red
I'll put another hole through my head

Existence
Unjustifiable
Unjustifiable
Unjustifiable existence
Unjustifiable existence
Kill yourself

Now I feel the weight of a world on my back
I've seen the future
The future looks black
It's what I must do
I have no reservations
Ain't talkin' about self preservation

Existence
Unjustifiable
Unjustifiable
Unjustifiable existence
Unjustifiable existence

Gravity
Crushing me
Gravity
Crushing me
Crushing me
Crushing me

[Canto II: Crush. "{{{2}}}"]
I can see God
I can see God

Die... die... die
Die... die... die
Die... die... die
Die

[Canto III: Acceleration (Due to Gravity). "{{{2}}}"]
Yeah I feel something pulling me down
Forcing me between myself and the ground
Of all the nightmares that ever came true
I'm think that gravity is you

Existence
Unjustifiable
Unjustifiable
Unjustifiable existence
Unjustifiable existence

Gravity
Crushing me
Gravity
Crushing me
Crushing me
Crushing me
Crushing me
Crushing me

[Canto IV: Antimatter: Electromechanical Psychedelicosis. "{{{2}}}"]
[Instrumental]
