This early demo of “Slow Show” appeared on vinyl releases of The Virginia EP from 2008 until 2017, as well as music streaming services.
In late 2020, it was reported that “Slow Show (Demo)” was removed from all streaming services and replaced by a different version, “Slow Show (Live).” This change...
[Verse 1]
Standing at the punch table, swallowing punch
Can't pay attention to the sound of anyone
A little more scared, a little more stupid
Every minute, more unprepared
Made a mistake in my life today
Every day I love gets lost in drawers
I want to start over, I want to be winning
Way out of the sync from the beginning
[Refrain]
It's easier than this, it's easier than this
Everything you say, there's water under it
[Chorus]
Somebody bring me the head of a love song
Somebody bring me the head of a lie
Want to be a blank slate
Want to wear a white cape
Want to tackle young girls off their beautiful boyfriends
[Verse 2]
Looking for somewhere to stand and stay
I leaned on the wall and the wall leaned away
Can I get a minute of not being nervous
And not thinking of my dick?
My leg turns to sparkles, my leg turns to pins
I better get my shit together, better gather my shit in
You can drive a car through my head in five minutes
From one side of it to the other
[Refrain]
So go now, don't make me cry
Everything you say, there's water under it
It's easier than this, it's easier than this
Everything you say, there's water under it
[Chorus]
Gonna bring me the head of a love song
Gonna bring me the head of a love song
Gonna be a blank slate
Want to wear a white cape
Want to tackle young girls off their beautiful boyfriends
[Chorus]
Gonna bring me the head of a love song
Gonna bring me the head of a love song
Gonna be a blank slate
Want to wear a white cape
[Outro]
Don't over do it, I'll turn round
Don't over do it, I'll turn round
Don't over do it, I'll turn round
Don't over do it, I'll go now
Don't over do it
