LYRICS
What does the center of gravity
Have to do with my belly
You push my button
How novel the navel
How low or how high
Swim as if fins
Or run like I fly
Let’s push our buttons
Equilibrium glutton
Push the button
But out
Butt in
Pushin’ buttons
No spin or rotate debate
Sure, I participate
No doubt I flail about
But for certain the button
Is quick to be smooth…
Slick
… in the grove
Parabolic
Trajectory
Live relative
To an ape’s escape velocity
Force of gravity
Getting to me
Coming down to Earth
For what it’s worth

The center of gravity, in physics, is an imaginary point in a body of matter where the total weight of the body may be considered to be concentrated. If supported at the center of gravity, the body remains in equilibrium in any position.
“Your navel is your center of gravity, so that affects your sense of balance. Researchers say the exact location of your belly button can even determine your best sport. Your potential to be a good runner is greater if your navel is high, and, if it’s lower, you may be a better swimmer.” — Deutsche Welle (DW)
“An object thrown through the air may spin and rotate, but its center of gravity will follow a smooth parabolic path,” — Boston University
“A radial parabolic trajectory is a non-periodic trajectory on a straight line where the relative velocity of the two objects is always the escape velocity.” — Wikipedia
