Lyrics

SLOW SALLY

I've seen the sound of words spoken in secret
I've seen the whispering that happens in your darkness
I've seen the remnants of those lovely eyelashes
And I've seen the way you talk like I'm some kind of slow Sally

If I lie but I say I'm sorry tell me does it count
If I change does it make a difference and for what amount
If I'm good
Tell me what I win
If I'm good

I've seen the way you do behind those Chinese curtains
I've seen the hazy fog that happens out your window
I've seen your lily back and all its constellations
And I've seen the chime that rings
Time's up for the merry widow

If I lie but I say I'm sorry tell me does it count
If I change does it make a difference and for what amount
If I'm good
Tell me what I win
If I'm good

Slow Sally on the ledge
Slow Sally I'm gonna come on down
I do need the wash to clean me clean
I do need the blood that we all bleed
I need to let the blood that lets me die
I do need the flames from which to rise

I know the way to fall to find my rock bottom
I'd show the way to you but I think you know it too
I could write the words on the wall
But are they the ones that we wanted
I'd just as well be singing a different kind of tune

If I lie but I say I'm sorry tell me does it count
If I change does it make a difference and for what amount
If I'm good
Tell me what I win
If I'm good
