Slow Down (feat Sufjan Stevens)

Tarpaulin sailboats and sports cars are splayed on
 Everyone's plot of suburban green rayon
 This is the stuff that philosophers pray on
 Dreaming
 She left New York to uncover her feeling
 Deep in the forest she comes to a clearing
 Where spiders and frogs climb down from the ceiling
 She slows down
 Yeah she slows down
 Well the scene on the sidewalk is grassy green terror
 Everyone smiles as the summer gets fairer
 She can't shake the skin off this neon unbearable sky
 And they slow down
 Yeah they slow down
 And see the soldiers smoking cigarettes
 Making bombs and placing bets
 Telling tales of girls who slept beside them at home
 In the clearing she takes off her skirt and her flip flops
 Wades in the water it grazes her knee tops
 She floats on her back, looking up at the blue drops of sky
 And she slows down
 Yeah she slows down
 Well she falls asleep on the creek and the stillness
 The spiders and frogs and the clearing bear witness
 To words dropped like pearls on the water unnoticed
 Just how deep they go
 And she slows down
 Yeah she slows down
 Yeah she slows down
