Slowburn

Interprete: Peter Gabriel
Disco: Peter Gabriel 1 (Car)

Letra de la canción:

We're character actors from the tower of Babel

Bewildered, burnt out hardly able

To sit astride the high wire cable

It's hard to balance, a little unstable

Through broken eyes and contact lenses

I watched you draw your future tenses

See kisses of flame blow out of your lips

You're back telling me your Apocalypse

But don't get me wrong, I'll be strong

When the slow burn sunset come along

You've gotta stay the night

I gotta think that you might

We've tried a handful of bills and a headful of pills

We've tried making movies from a volume of stills

Words fell like hailstones, bouncing at our feet,

Covering our feelings with a frozen sheet

A chance to move I take a shot

I get cold - you get hot

We look outside, lyin' awake

See birds breakin' surface on a silent lake

But don't get me wrong, I'll be strong

When I’m back on the Isle of Avalon

Don't get me wrong, I'll be strong

When the slow burn sunset come along

You've gotta stay the night

I gotta think that you might

Don't try to make it easy, it'll cut you down to size

Darlin' we've got to trust in something

We're shooting down our skies

Shooting down, shooting down our skies

Shooting down our.......
