to every angry word i will not say
i keep my finger locked in prison
i think i'm sorry but then sometimes

i'd like to know that you could save my day
i'd like to treat you like my puppet

and all the people move too slow

and everybody goes too slow... for me

and all the people move too slow
enough of them already know
and everybody goes too slow

and all the people move too slow
enough of them already know
and everybody goes too slow... for
