Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Alone
I feel alone
When I'm living in a building
Like a tooth in heaven's throat
[Verse 4]
True
It's a beautiful view
But you know they're gonna set it on fire
When they feel like something new
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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 a new arcade
So I can wash the empty hour away
[Verse 7]
But why can't anything be real?
Emotion like the movies feel
So bring me to the hand of fate
The river or a new arcade
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
'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
