The Slowdown Songtext

von T-Bone Burnett

It's time to kill
Leaf through this here travel proposal
The imbecile
All we have is at your disposal
Let's go
You're under stress, change your address
Out on the slowdown
Be Anonymous
Out on the slowdown
Be Hieronymus

The light's too bright
Stand over there while I take your picture
An awful blight
Take these until you find the right mixture
Let's go
You're looking pale
Get out of jail

There'll be a showdown
You're hard to please
Out in the slowdown
Ulysses

The street's too sleek
I believe you can live without this
The scene's too bleak
I have a bad feeling about this.
Let's go
Corrosive sex with sound effects

There'll be a blowdown.
Take a deep breath
Out on the slowdown
Then death.
