You
Your life's an endless mission
Blind to the consequences
While earthly poisons
Drain the lifeblood out of you

You're living like a candle
And if it burns too quickly
You really need to find
A way to slow it down

Slowdown
You've got to live for something
Slowdown
Before it gets away
Slowdown
You've got to set aside
Some time to get it right

You
You never think about it
But life is like a window
And if it's left open or shut
It's up to you
You need to share with someone
And if it don't come easy
You're gonna have to find
A way to slow it down

Slowdown
You've got to live for something
Slowdown
Before it gets away
Slowdown
You've got to set aside
Some time to get it right

Sometimes you'll find
That even fools can offer wisdom
In their views of the world
And it's gold

You
Your life is in the fastlane
You need to take it easy
You really need to find
A way to slow it down

Slowdown
You've got to live for something
Slowdown
Before it gets away
Slowdown
You've got to set aside
Some time to get it right

Sometimes you'll find
That even fools can offer
Wisdom in their views
Of the world...

Slowdown
You've got to live for something
Slowdown
Before it gets away
Slowdown
Before it gets away
Slowdown
Slowdown
