SLOW DOWN.

I`ve never felt equipped to fit the trend

I feel that dressing up is all pretend

But standing here I look around and all I seem to see

Are people that worship formality.

And I`ve never been at ease

It`s not just the thanks and please

It`s the rules that breed success

Cause they`re dressed to just impress.

Hemmed in hopes and claustrophobic years

No-one stops to see if some dust clears!

Life goes too fast for me…

Slow down

I want life to last with me…

Slow down…

Oh please slow down.

My wife has had enough of no return

She says the kids are no way my concern

I guess there never are no rats aboard a sinking ship

That girl across the bar has cracked my whip!

Because she`s staring at me

But I don`t want to be free

Why is it always the same

I guess I`ve blew it again.

Hemmed in hopes…etc.

I don`t need lectures – just an overdraft

Back out on the street cause he simply laughed

I sware it`s some conspiracy cause I can`t get no peace

I can`t pick the phone up and call the police.

No matter which way I turn

It`s never no-one`s concern

Who sees my little finger

Reach and squeeze my life`s trigger!

Hemmed in hopes…etc.

I don`t even stand a chance

Because I`m flying with no hands!

I`m allowed to play the game

But the rules never stay the same!
