[00:00.40]Long Slow Slide
[00:03.67]Jewel
[00:11.72]
[00:18.36]Lights are bright in the circus
[00:25.56]The geeks and the freaks all light cigarettes
[00:31.19]and laugh at your misery
[00:35.28]While the white of the curtain closing crushes your heart
[00:43.19]The inertia of loneliness tears your flesh apart
[00:52.38]It's a long slow slide
[00:56.62]It's a long slow slide
[01:01.01]It's a long slow slide
[01:08.05]Down
[01:09.83]Once the neon is gone
[01:12.26]There's still that golden splinter at your side
[01:19.20]His manners are charming
[01:21.35]But who are you fooling
[01:23.11]You're still nobody's bride
[01:27.19]And Bukowski's widow
[01:30.98]Haunts each empty seat on the ferris wheel
[01:36.29]As ghoulish lovers collide
[01:39.20]in a collage of kisses that they steal
[01:44.76]It's a long slow slide
[01:48.39]It's a long slow slide
[01:53.07]It's a long slow slide
[02:00.31]Down
[02:03.31]
[02:21.82]And outside your window
[02:25.11]you can see the circus it's lurching
[02:28.91]with rings of smoke
[02:30.78]You laugh halfheartedly at the punchline
[02:33.98]Not realizing they've made you the joke
[02:39.06]And inside you're heart a war is raging
[02:43.16]A region still untamed
[02:47.31]The worst fear I can imagine
[02:50.86]is for the mystery to be named
[02:54.12]Is for the mystery to be named
[03:02.17]It's a long slow slide
[03:07.08]It's a long slow slide
[03:11.44]It's a long slow slide
[03:16.75]It's a long slow slide
[03:19.90]It's a long slow slide
[03:24.02]It's a long slow slide
[03:34.83]Down
[03:41.54]
