Slowpoke

Neil Young · Other Songs - Neil Young

Something opened up

the gates again,

I can't control it,

so I rushed right in.

Here comes a mermaid

and a little girl,

Saw open drawers

from around the world.

I got some medals

hanging on my chest,

I've seen some good ones,

but I missed the rest.

Lady luck don't you turn on me,

I'm just a student of your history,

I'm just a student of your history.

Slowpoke I'm gonna run with you,

Wear all your clothes and

do what you do.

Slowpoke

we got some things to find,

When I was faster,

I was always behind,

When I was faster,

I was always behind.

Something pushed back

the curtain again,

The stage is empty

and the crowd is thin.

The song is gentle,

but the song is now.

Something's missing,

but something is found,

Something's missing,

but something is found,

Something's missing,

but something is found.

Slowpoke I'm gonna run with you,

Wear all your clothes and

do what you do.

Slowpoke

we got some things to find,

When I was faster,

I was always behind.

When I was faster,

When I was faster,

I was always behind,

When I was faster......
