Dead Slow Lyrics - Clear Glass Jar - Judith Edelman

I can feel an invitation breathing down my neck 

There's a bunch of angels cringing while the fool picks up the check 

You're loaded like a cannon, like a pocket full of pay 

Don't you point that thing at me, I will not gratify today 

Go slow, dead slow 

I will not be rushed into 

Slow, dead slow 

I eat bigger boys for breakfast than you 

We're driving past the graveyard, lift your feet and hold your breath 

No, you're much too busy contemplating your own little death 

But I have not been listening to a single word you've said 

No, I'm much too busy laughing at the traffic sign ahead 

Chorus I'm an empty temple 

On your long and chequered trip 

Show a little reverence 

And I'll show you, how to worship here 

Tomorrow there'll be necklaces of sudden, shining pearls 

I will turn myself around in them and lose the living world 

But today is not the day to build cathedrals on your sea 

No, I won't go swimming in your pool of possibility 

Possibility, possibility 

Chorus
