Lyrics
Slow
I'm gonna settle down slow
Down to the hum of electric life and soul
Faith
In my hand 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 in 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
'Cause I'm living in a room downtown with a bed and a big TV
'Cause I'm living in a room downtown with a bed and a big TV
'Cause I'm living in a room downtown with a bed and a big TV
'Cause I'm living in a room downtown with a bed and a big TV
'Cause I'm living in a room downtown with a bed and a big TV
'Cause I'm living in a room downtown with a bed and a big TV
