Slowburn |
| We’re character actors from the Tower of Babel |
| Bewildered, burned out hardly able |
| To sit astride the high wire cable |
| It’s hard to balance, a little unstable. |
| Through broken eyes and contact lenses |
| Watched you draw your future tenses |
| See kisses of flame blow out of your lips |
| You’re back telling me your Apocalypse. |
| Don’t get me wrong, I’ll be strong |
| When the slowburn sunset come along |
| You’ve gotta stay the night |
| I gotta think that you might. |
| We’ve tried a handful of bills and a handful of pills |
| We’ve tried making movies from a volume of stills |
| the words fell like hailstones, |
| bouncing at our feet, |
| Covering our feelings with a frozen sheet. |
| A chance to move, I take a shot |
| I get cold — you get hot |
| We look outside, lyin’awake |
| See birds breaking surface on a silent lake. |
| But don’t get me wrong, I’ll be strong |
| When I’m back on the Isle of Avalon |
| Dont get me wrong, I’ll be strong |
| When the slow burn sunset come along |
| You’ve got to stay the night |
| I’ve got to think that you might. |
| Don’t try make it easy, it’ll cut you down to size |
| Darlin’we’ve got to trust in something |
| We’re shooting down our skies |
| shooting down our skies |
