The Largest Elizabeth In The World Lyrics - The Roches

Didn't you ever feel like the largest Elizabeth in the world? 

Usually at a time when the boy is oblivious to the girl 

I read in the paper the other day 

This has been happening to everybody more and more 

The scientists are on the case 

But they still haven't figured out 

What it is that it is happening for 

Slow down, slow down, slow down 

Wouldn't you like to feel like yourself 

After suffering so many years, years, years? 

If you were asked to the party by somebody else 

You wouldn't be sitting home in tears 

Or maybe you're one of those interesting people 

Who don't go outside but they get their best work done 

By keeping themselves in the house off the street 

And away from the scene when it's time for the rest to have fun 

Slow down, slow down, slow down 

Come on, slow down, slow down 

They say the world's over 

Goodbye, see you next time, next time 

You don't have to go 

What if the after effect of the terrible bomb 

Is unusual beyond belief? 

Wouldn't you rather the whole population 

Had listened to somebody like the old Indian chief? 

Turn it around like a rig 

And go back to that simple truck stop 

On the way to the unfortunate world 

You might be the largest Elizabeth 

But Elizabeth is still a good name to have if you're a girl 

Slow down, come on, slow down 

Slow down, slow down, slow down 

Slow down, slow down, slow down
