Lyrics

Slow Life

[Verse 1: Victoria Legrand]

I think I know what's on your mind

A couple words, a great divide

Waiting in the wings, a small respite

Crowding up the foreground from behind

[Chorus: Ed Droste]

Even though you're the only one I see

It's the last catastrophe

Place your bets on chance and apathy

[Verse 2: Victoria Legrand, Victoria Legrand & Ed Droste]

Take anything you want, it's fine

Keep up the slow life for the night

Don't take it back, I'll just deny

This constant noise all the time

[Chorus: Ed Droste, Ed Droste & Victoria Legrand]

Even though you're the only one I see

It's the last catastrophe

Place your bets on chance and apathy

From the wind in front of me

Even though you're the only one I see

It's the last catastrophe

Place your bets on chance and apathy

From the wind in front of me

Even though you're the only one I see
