Well, you're down on your luck |
|
too pride to show it |
|
stopping as the little boy |
|
you've never left behind |
|
Slow down, brother, |
|
slow down |
|
You're wearing that patience |
|
too high to know it |
|
Using up my money |
|
upon losing your mind |
|
I said: Slow down, brother |
|
slow down |
|
And when the party's over |
|
it's only just begun |
|
they're lighting up another one |
|
Put on the brakes and |
|
slow down, brother |
|
slow down |
|
For heaven's sakes |
|
slow down, brother |
|
slow down. |
|
You think you're life a stage show |
|
You think you're Oskar Wilde |
|
Everyday I found a fare |
|
And everyone a fan |
|
Slow down, brother |
|
Slow down. |
|
Glide along the pavement |
|
Some kind a hold a child |
|
Preaching in a rhetoric |
|
That no one understands |
|
I said: Slow down, brother |
|
Slow down. |
|
Living in the moment |
|
When the moment's long gone past |
|
How long are you gonna last? |
|
Put on the brakes and |
|
slow down, brother |
|
Slow down |
|
For heavens' sakes |
|
Nothing in your room but lead |
|
Rusty old four-poster bed |
|
The painting of the young dramatic |
|
You left behind |
|
Nothing in your eyes but need |
|
Nothing but a soul to feed |
|
Nothing left to do for me |
|
But count the time |
|
Put on the brakes and |
|
slow down, brother |
|
Slow down |
|
For heaven's sakes |
|
slow down, brother |
|
Slow down |
|
Put on the brakes and |
|
slow down, brother |
|
Slow down |
|
For heavens' sakes |
|
slow down, brother |
|
Slow down |
