Slow I'm gonna settle down slow Down to the hum of electric life and soul
Faith In my hands to trade But for the word and The light of a bitter saint
And you can get me work? But I can't work for free I've got a room downtown With a bed and a big TV If you can raise a star From garbage on the street Then you can make a modern life For a modern girl to lead
Alone, I feel alone When I'm living in a building Like a tooth at heaven's throat
True, it's a beautiful view But you know they're gonna set it on fire When they feel like something new
And you can get me work? But I can't work for free I've got a room downtown With a bed and a big TV If you can raise a star From garbage on the street Then you can make a modern life For a modern girl to lead
But why can't anything be real? Emotion like the movies feel... A pill to break the drone of reverie... So bring me to the hand of fate The river or the new arcade So I can wash the empty hour away
But why can't anything be real? Emotion like the movies feel... So bring me to the hand of fate The river or the new arcade
And you can get me work? But I can't work for free I've got a room downtown With a bed and a big TV If you can raise a star From garbage on the street Then you can make a modern life For a modern girl to lead
Cos I'm living in a room downtown With a bed and a big TV [x6]
