Slow
I'm gonna settle down slow
Down to the hum
Of electric life and soul

Faith
In my hand to trade
But for the world and
The light of a bitter saint

And you can get me work
But I can't work for free
I've got a room downtown
With a bed and a big tv

If you can raise a star
From garbage on the street
Then you can make a modern life
For a modern girl to lead

Alone
I feel alone
When I'm living in a building
Like a tooth in heaven's throat

True
It's a beautiful view
But you know they're gonna set it on fire
When they feel like something new

And you can get me work
But I can't work for free
I've got a room downtown
With a bed and a big tv

If you can raise a star
From garbage on the street
Then you can make a modern life
For a modern girl to lead

But why can't anything be real?
Emotion like the movies feel
A pill to break the drone of reverie
So bring me to the hand of fate
The river or the new arcade
So I can wash the empty hour away

But why can't anything be real?
Emotion like the movies feel

So bring me to the hand of fate
The river or the new arcade

And you can get me work
But I can't work for free
I've got a room downtown
With a bed and a big tv

If you can raise a star
From garbage on the street
Then you can make a modern life
For a modern girl to lead

Cause I'm living in a room downtown
With a bed and a big tv

Cause I'm living in a room downtown
With a bed and a big tv

Cause I'm living in a room downtown
With a bed and a big tv

Cause I'm living in a room downtown
With a bed and a big tv

Cause I'm living in a room downtown
With a bed and a big tv

Cause I'm living in a room downtown
With a bed and a big tv
