Slow It Down

"Slow It Down"



I feel her filth in my bones

Wash off my hands til it's gone

The walls they're closing in

With velvet curtains



Some love was made for the light

Some kiss your cheek and goodnight

Lift up a red high heel

Lock up your doors with steel



They're makin noise in my street

My blinds are drawn I can't see

Smashed in my car window

Didn't touch the stereo



Slow it down, Angie come back to bed

Rest your arms, and rest your legs



Act like you've been here before

Smile less and dress up some more

Tie up your scarf real tight

These boys are out for blood tonight



Slow it down, Angie come back to bed

Rest your arms, and rest your legs



And when she stood she stood tall

She'll make a fool of you all

Don't ask for cigarettes

She ain't got nothin left for you



I never, she never, we never looked back

That wasn't what we were good at

And when it came to love

We were not good enough



Slow it down, Angie come back to bed

Rest your arms, and rest your legs

Don't you frown when you're feelin like that

Only love can dig you out of this
