Slow
I'm gonna settle down slow
Down to the hum of
Electric life and soul
In my hand to trade
But for the word and
The light of a bitter scent
And you can get me work
But I can't work for free
I've got a room downtown
With a bed and a big TV
If you can raise a star
From garbage on the street
Then you can make a modern life
For a modern girl to lead
I feel alone
When I'm living in a building
Like a tooth in heaven's throat
It's a beautiful view
But you know they're gonna set it on fire
When they feel like something new
And you can get me work
But I can't work for free
I've got a room downtown
With a bed and a big TV
If you can raise a star
From garbage on the street
Then you can make a modern life
For a modern girl to lead
But why can't anything be real?
Emotion like the movies feel?
A pill to break the drone of reverie
So bring me to the hand of fate
The river or the new arcade
So I can wash the empty hours away
But why can't anything be real?
Emotion like the movies feel
So bring me to the hand of fate
The river or a new arcade
And you can get me work
But I can't work for free
I've got a room downtown
With a bed and a big TV
If you can raise a star
From garbage on the street
Then you can make a modern life
For a modern girl to lead
Cause I'm living in a room downtown
With a bed and a big TV
