You

Your life's an endless mission

Blind to the consequences

While earthly poisons

Drain the lifeblood out of you



You're living like a candle

And if it burns too quickly

You really need to find

A way to slow it down



Slowdown

You've got to live for something

Slowdown

Before it gets away

Slowdown

You've got to set aside

Some time to get it right



You

You never think about it

But life is like a window

And if it's left open or shut

It's up to you

You need to share with someone

And if it don't come easy

You're gonna have to find

A way to slow it down



Slowdown

You've got to live for something

Slowdown

Before it gets away

Slowdown

You've got to set aside

Some time to get it right



Sometimes you'll find

That even fools can offer wisdom

In their views of the world

And it's gold



You

Your life is in the fastlane

You need to take it easy

You really need to find

A way to slow it down



Slowdown

You've got to live for something

Slowdown

Before it gets away

Slowdown

You've got to set aside

Some time to get it right



Sometimes you'll find

That even fools can offer

Wisdom in their views

Of the world...



Slowdown

You've got to live for something

Slowdown

Before it gets away

Slowdown

Before it gets away

Slowdown

Slowdown
