My Friend The Chocolate Cake – Slow Way To Go Down Lyrics

Slowly dead murkily around and around
The head starts its filtering
His body is shivering
Someone please show him some light
He was drinking with misery, all through the night
It's heading for a mercy kill
He's shattered, yet purposeful, blurred like an overcast day

This is the slow way we go down
This is the slow way to go down

These red hands are shaking, the shaking won't stop
His nerves shot to pieces
The black wings come falling down
He mutters and stamps and he threatens the sky
He's scratching his scalp til his scalp starts to bleed
It's the traffic noise that bothers him
He sleeps with his eyes apart, shouts out loud to the air

This is the slow way we go down
This is the slow way to go down

The T.V. is broken, the vertical hold's gone
It flickers around on itself
He finds it amusing
He thinks he's just falling apart

This is the slow way we go down
This is the slow way to go down
