Slow Learner - Slowly Slowly

Peel your lips apart

Thoughts crawl across your eyes like steam on a mirror

You copy my body language, mimic my tone

Like trinkets in a chest all plated gold

I’m cheap, factory production line

And you’re a handmade gemstone one of a kind

I like breaking hearts, I’ll never show you mine

Unless you’d like to see it

Tonight can you show me how to dance?

I’m a slow learner, okay

Is this what they sprawled on the pyramids walls?

Do I breathe because I want to or do I do it for you?

Sweet saliva, soft pink light

If I kill myself would that impress you tonight?

Don’t tempt me, I might

Cats in the cradle, silver spoon

If we both look now, do we see the same moon?

I cut up the air in my cold bedroom and saved a big slice for you

Tonight can you teach me how to sing?

I’m a slow learner, okay

Is this what they sprawled on the pyramids walls?

Do I breathe because I want to or do I do it for you?

Sweet saliva, soft pink light

If I kill myself maybe that would impress you tonight

Don’t tempt me, I might

Yeah, I’ve been mugged, yeah, I’ve been drugged

They took my love and they fucked it up

Yeah, I’ve been mugged, I’ve been drugged

They took my love and fucked it up

I’m a slow learner

Is this what they sprawled on the pyramids walls?

Do I breathe because I want to or do I do it for you?

Sweet saliva, soft pink light

If I kill myself maybe I could impress you tonight

Don’t tempt me, I might
