Lyrics

Slowing Down the World

I offer you someone
So you can do what you want
Only with true experience
Will the voice you speak be true

I offer you someone
To ship the word you like
Arm you with doctor's eyes
Your lights will flame with fire

Is it for you I beg?
Is it for you I pray?
Is it for you I lay down anywhere?
Something to be said
About slowing down the world

Bask in the light
That gave you important shadow
You were furious and petrified
Envious of the glow

Your eyes were masked
With the love they lost
You were all dressed up with
No place to go

Is it for you I search?
Is it for you I long?
Is it for you the hours are my own?
Something to be said
About slowing down the world

Is it for you I love?
Is it for you I hide?
Is it for you I leave someone behind?

You are horny all the time
And darling
It's not a crime

Something to be said
About slowing down the world
Something to be said
About slowing down the world
Slowing down the world
Slowing down the world
Slowing down the world
