Lyrics Alexander - Early Take - The Angels

Alexander
Alexander

The music never stops, eating up the speed
You like a paradise, pledge yourself to please
If you had a gun, I know you wouldn't dare
But you're killing yourself, does anyone care?

In the middle of the night
Are the cryptic voices always there?

Had a mind of your own, gave it all away
Keeping pace with pain, and you never learn to play
Friends never know, 'cause you're never gonna show
Information they keep, gonna make you go to sleep
In the middle of a secret garden
Do you shoot sorrow in your veins?

Alexander, always worried
Why are you in such a hurry?
Slow down, Alexander
Slow down, Alexander

Up against the wall with honey-tongued feet
Secret persuaders to the fear and heat
Rush in isolation, wears a mystery mask
Just to be the artist is all they ask
You're in the middle of it all
Did you ever tell them no?
Did you count the cost when you knew you lost?
Did you kill the pill with a smile?

Alexander, always worried
Why are you in such a hurry?
Slow down, Alexander
Slow down, Alexander

Take a look at yourself, Alexander
Living like a no-man's-lander
Better take what they hand you
Nobody's ever gonna try to understand you

Slow down, Alexander
Slow down, Alexander

Slow down, Alexander
Slow down, Alexander
Slow down, Alexander
Slow down, Alexander
Slow down, Alexander
Slow down, Alexander
Slow down, Alexander
Slow down, Alexander

You've got to slow down, Alexander
Slow down, slow down, slow down, Alexander
Slow down, slow down, Alexander, yeah
Slow down, slow down, Alexander
Alexander
