Slow Burn Lyrics

Here shall we live in this terrible town

 Where the price for our minds

 shall squeeze them tight like a fist 

 And the walls shall have eyes 

 And the doors shall have ears

 But we'll dance in their dark

 And they'll play with our lives 

 

 Like a Slow Burn

 Leading us on and on and on 

 Like a Slow Burn

 Turning us round and round and round Hark who are we 

 So small in times such as these

 Slow Burn 

 Slow Burn 

 

 Oh, these are the days

 These are the strangest of all

 These are the nights 

 These are the darkest to fall

 But who knows?

 Echoes in tenement halls

 Who knows? 

 Though the years spare them all

 

 Like a Slow Burn 

 Leading us on and on and on 

 Like a Slow Burn 

 Twirling us round and round 

 and upside down

 There's fear overhead 

 There's fear overground 

 Slow Burn 

 Slow Burn

 Like a Slow Burn 

 Leading us on and on and on

 Like a Slow Burn 

 Turning us round and round and round And here are we

 At the center of it all

 Slow Burn

 Slow Burn

 Slow Burn
