Real Slow Today

[Verse 1]
This is a dangerous tale
Of oxygen and flame
Tale of running away
Nowhere to run
All I can see is you
Visions of water in the desert sun
Stay

[Chorus]
Things gonna get real slow today
Things gonna get real slow today
Takes one prisoner
Takes one to show him the way
Then comes this lesson in natural history

[Verse 2]
And these ladies are laughing at me
Can I join the fun?
I know I'm haunted, keeps the flame
Bright
I guess I can say I'm alright
Just a burning arrow stuck in my heart
Well, anyway

[Chorus]
Things gonna get real slow today
Things gonna get real slow today
Takes one prisoner
Takes one to show him the way
Then comes this lesson in natural history

[Verse 3]
And some people say that
We shouldn't cross this line
But there is no line
Only the sky
I want to see you smile
Want to feel us get up and fly
Shouldn't we

[Chorus]
Things gonna get real slow today
Things gonna get real slow today
Takes one prisoner
Takes one to show him the way
Then comes this lesson in natural history
