On the way down, they saw a lot they don't remember
And if you asked them how, they couldn't say how they got there
And if you want them now, you could just pull on the lever
And say, "I'm hung up on gravity"
You move your mouth and you start to talk
You close your eyes and then lose the thought
What's mine is mine and what's yours you probably got
And we all fall
On the way down, they saw a lot they don't remember
And if you asked them how, they'd say that gravity's how they got there
And if you want them now, you could just pull on the lever
And say, "I'm hung up on this decade"
They bounced themselves off schools and halls
They created pagers to collect all their calls
What's mine is mine and what's yours and we all always fall
And we fall
And if you asked them how, they couldn't say how they got there
And if you want them now, you could just pull on the lever
And say, "I'm hung up on gravity"
You move your mouth and you start to talk
You close your eyes and then lose the thought
What's mine is mine and what's yours you probably got
And we all fall
On the way down, they saw a lot they don't remember
And if you asked them how, they'd say that gravity's how they got there
And if you want them now, you could just pull on the lever
And say, "I'm hung up on this decade"
They bounced themselves off schools and halls
They created pagers to collect all their calls
What's mine is mine and what's yours and we all always fall
And we fall

I like the one that thought it was "if you want them *out* you could just pull on the lever" it makes sense that way.
The middle with:
"you move your mouth and you start to talk
you close your eyes and then lose the thought"
Reminds me of Doin' the Cockroach:
"You move your mouth
You shake your tongue
You vibrate my eardrums
You're saying words
But you know I ain't listening"
By that the rythem that he says it at. Kind of a simular message.
I think the end is more about society and how everyone is out for their own good and everyone will fail becuase of it (and thus probably all end up in Hell). espcially business people with their pagers.
I could be wrong, but thats my interpretation.
Now I'm thinking the song is about people with bipolar disorder.
and Isaac has bipolar disorder, so do I.
while going through the manic cycle, one is very talkitive and rapidly thinking of new ideas. They also become very forgetful
"you move your mouth and you start to talk
you close your eyes and then lose the thought"
That might be where that line comes from
Then you go into the depressive cycle, it works like gravity, whenever you come up, you fall back down.
you can create pagers to collect all you calls.
",they created pagers to collect all their calls"
when going in the depressive stage I know I stop answering my phone, and I always get a million missed calls.
I could make more explanations,
But I've also been in the "drug scene" and thats why I originaly thought it was about that.
