slow down

You never cared for the windows and stairs
But the rooms with the views always treated you fair
And now all I can see
Are the leaves and the treesParking was difficult but similar medical
A raise with good pay and it’s our lucky day
But you lost every year
Pushing paper and fear

Slow down slow down
Let me catch up with you
Slow down slow down
If you keep moving too fast
Nothing good will lastThis place is a riot the kids won’t keep quiet
Make them watch TV till they’re falling asleep
And then it’s my time
My wife and my wine

Slow down slow down
Let me catch up with you
Slow down slow down
If you keep moving too fast
Nothing good will last
Each deserving appliance and business alliance
We watch the balances trading allowances
And every dream that was fresh in my mind
Has now faded away with each bill that I pay
