Slow Motion Derailment Lyrics

You know the tale of the frog in the frypan

Well I think I see several in there

Are you with your elastic principles one of them?

What can I do to help you see straight?

What can I say that you might contemplate?

All I can do is write and sing a song

As you sink into the fire

Can you feel the heat go higher?

What will it take to make you jump to solid ground? la la la la

Slow motion derailment, slow motion derailment

It's just a little here and there

Sitting in your chair

But it's gonna dump you on the ground

Slow motion derailment, slow motion derailment

'Cos retribution is not swift

If you get the drift

There's opportunity to turn round

Didn't anyone tell you that when

You say you err on the side of caution

That an error is still an error anyway?

Men are feeble and they should not forget

That the basest of standards have been met

By those who believe they serve high authority

Losing sight of the tracks together

Gazing round at the sunny weather

It's gonna end in sudden catastrophe la la la la

Slow motion derailment, slow motion derailment

It's just a little here and there

Sitting in your chair

But it's gonna dump you on the ground

Slow motion derailment, slow motion derailment

'Cos retribution is not swift

If you get the drift

There's opportunity to turn round

Men are feeble and they should not forget

That the lowest of standards have been met

By those who believe they serve high authority

Losing sight of the tracks together

Gazing round at the sunny weather

It's gonna end in sudden catastrophe

Narcissism is the first mistake

Elitism follows in its wake

Secrecy deception hypocrisy… la la la la

Slow motion derailment, slow motion derailment

It's just a little here and there

Sitting in your chair

But it's gonna dump you on the ground

Slow motion derailment, slow motion derailment

'Cos retribution is not swift

If you get the drift

There's opportunity to turn around
