Lyrics Slowburn (Extended Version) - Peter Gabriel
We're
character
actors
from
the
Tower
of
Babel
Bewildered,
burnt
out,
hardly
able
To
sit
astride
the
high
wire
cable
It's
hard
to
balance,
a
little
unstable.
Through
broken
eyes
and
contact
lenses
Watched
you
draw
your
future
tenses
See
kisses
of
flame
blow
out
of
your
lips
You're
back
telling
me
your
Apocalypse.
Don't
get
me
wrong,
I'll
be
strong
When
the
slow
burn
sunset
come
along
You've
gotta
stay
the
night
I
gotta
think
that
you
might.
We've
tried
a
handful
of
bills
and
a
handful
of
pills
We've
tried
making
movies
from
a
volume
of
stills
But
the
words
fell
like
hailstones,
Bouncing
at
our
feet
Covering
our
feelings
with
a
frozen
sheet.
A
chance
to
move,
I
take
a
shot
I
get
cold
you
get
hot
We
look
outside,
lyin'
awake
See
birds
breaking
surface
on
a
silent
lake.
But
don't
get
me
wrong,
I'll
be
strong
When
I'm
back
on
the
Isle
of
Avalon
Don't
get
me
wrong,
I'll
be
strong
When
the
slow
burn
sunset
come
along
You've
got
to
stay
the
night
I've
got
to
think
that
you
might.
Don't
try
to
make
it
easy,
it'll
cut
you
down
to
size
Darlin'
we've
got
to
trust
in
something
We're
shooting
down
our
skies
Shooting
down
our
skies
