[00:05.23]A Long Slow Slide

[00:07.80]by N/A
[00:19.16]Lights are bright in the circus
[00:27.68]The geeks and the freaks all light cigarettes and laugh at your misery
[00:36.03]While the white of the curtain closing crushes your heart
[00:45.16]The inertia of loneliness tears your flesh apart
[00:53.49]It's a long slow slide
[00:57.72]It's a long slow slide
[01:01.90]It's a long slow slide
[01:09.51]Down
[01:10.81]Once the neon is gone
[01:12.80]There's still that golden splinter at your side
[01:19.98]His manners are charming
[01:21.97]But who are you fooling
[01:24.93]You're still nobody's bride
[01:28.59]And Bukowski's widow
[01:31.85]Haunts each empty seat on the ferris wheel
[01:37.27]As ghoulish lovers collide in a collage of kisses that they steal
[01:45.75]It's a long slow slide
[01:49.29]It's a long slow slide
[01:53.74]It's a long slow slide
[01:59.53]Down
[02:24.46]And outside your window you can see the circus it's lurching
[02:29.97]with rings of smoke
[02:32.11]You laugh halfheartedly at the punchline
[02:35.23]Not realizing they've made you the joke
[02:40.13]And inside you're heart a war is raging
[02:44.10]A region still untamed
[02:48.38]The worst fear I can imagine is for the mystery to be named
[02:56.85]Is for the mystery to be named
[03:04.28]It's a long slow slide
[03:07.88]It's a long slow slide
[03:12.47]It's a long slow slide
[03:17.98]Down
[03:20.97]It's a long slow slide
[03:25.80]It's a long slow slide
[03:37.54]Down
