Lyrics
Slowburn
We're character actors from the tower of Babel
Bewildered, burnt out hardly able
To sit astride the high wire cable
It's hard to balance, a little unstable
Through broken eyes and contact lenses
I watched you draw your future tenses
See kisses of flame blow out of your lips
You're back telling me your Apocalypse
But don't get me wrong, I'll be strong
When the slow burn sunset come along
You've gotta stay the night
I gotta think that you might
We've tried a handful of bills and a headful of pills
We've tried making movies from a volume of stills
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 breakin' surface on a silent lake
But don't get me wrong, I'll be strong
When I’m back on the Isle of Avalon
Don't get me wrong, I'll be strong
When the slow burn sunset come along
You've gotta stay the night
I gotta think that you might
Don't try to 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, shooting down our skies
Shooting down our.......
