Slow Down
Tarpaulin sailboats and sports cars are splayed onEveryone's plot of suburban green rayonThis is the stuff that philosophers pray onDreamingShe left New York to uncover her feelingDeep in the forest she comes to a clearingWhere spiders and frogs climb down from the ceilingShe slows downYeah she slows downWell the scene on the sidewalk is grassy green terrorEveryone smiles as the summer gets fairerShe can't shake the skin off this neon unbearable skyAnd they slow downYeah they slow downAnd see the soldiers smoking cigarettesAnd making bombs and placing betsAnd telling tales of girls who slept beside them at homeIn the clearing she takes off her skirt and her flip flopsWades in the water it grazers her knee topsShe floats on her back, looking up at the blue drops of skyAnd she slows downYeah she slows downLetras de cancionesWell she falls asleep on the creek and the stillnessThe spiders and frogs and the clearing bear witnessTo words dropped like pearls on the water unnoticedJust how deep they goAnd she slows downYeah she slows downYeah she slows down
