lyrics

REAL SLOW (for Townes)

somethin happened, i can't explain it
see a ghost came callin' on me last night
show me how t live maybe
how t write
w/ a pitchfork
+ a gun
+ a tear down the face
of a dyin sun

he was so close he was far away
a practical smile on a practical face
pissin' on everything
patchin' it up w/ his kid
in the mornin'
w/ a bottle
like a friend
+ a look
like a real dead end

he was ugly
he was handsome
had electric shock
n he moved like he talked
like he sang
like he walked
real slow

he showed me what i'd
never done
+ never would
til my own kingdom come

somethin happened, i can't explain it
see a ghost came callin' on me last night
show me how t live maybe
how t write
w/ a pitchfork
+ a gun
+ a tear down the face
of a dyin sun
