Slowpoke Lyrics

Air carries oxygen to your lips

as it makes a mess of your hair

Finds a kiss on your neck

Now the skin is colder there

It's the wind, drowning the end of your cigarette

But the smoke stays

'Cause it can't bear to leave your body yet

Not yet

Such a pretty disgrace

But don't leave me alone

'Cause when you cover your face

I'm nobody in no time flat

No time flat

Silly me, to believe that everything ends

Count the money

When a promise tries to break but only bends

All the lies and the stains and the awkward pauses

The planets and planes and the last lost cause I will chase

On a list of things to forget

But not yet

Such a pretty disgrace

But don't leave me alone

'Cause when you cover your face

I'm nobody in no time flat

No time flat

And maybe it's as simple as that

All the lies and the stains and the awkward pauses

The planets and planes and the last lost cause

Find a bug on the wind to forgive what you did

Add it up, add it up, and it's just, and it's just

It's just

Ink on paper, ink on paper

This morning's light versus last night's weather

But cold is clean and fast, and I'm a slowpoke

Ink on paper, ink on paper

This morning's light versus last night's weather

But you were clean and fast, and I'm a slowpoke

I'm a slowpoke
