Slow Burn Lyrics - David Bowie

1 Here shall we live in this terrible town

2 Where the price for our eyes shall squeeze them tight like a fist

3 And the walls shall have eyes

4 And the doors shall have ears

5 But we'll dance in the dark

6 And they'll play with our lives

7 Like a Slow Burn

8 Leading us on and on and on

9 Like a Slow Burn

10 Turning us round and round and round

11 But who are we

12 So small in times such as these

13 Slow Burn

14 Slow Burn

15 Oh, these are the days

16 These are the strangest of all

17 These are the nights

18 These are the darkest to fall

19 But who knows?

20 Echoes in tenement halls

21 Who knows?

22 Though the years snare them all

23 Like a Slow Burn

24 Leading us on and on and on

25 Like a Slow Burn

26 Twirling us round and round and upside down

27 There's fear overhead

28 There's fear overground

29 Slow Burn

30 Slow Burn

31 Like a Slow Burn

32 Leading us on and on and on

33 Like a Slow Burn

34 Turning us round and round and round

35 And here are we

36 At the center of it all

37 Slow Burn

38 Slow Burn

39 Slow Burn
