Slow Time

This is a test
for the rest of your life
Identical toys
no multiple choice
The sound of the wind
the scent of a child
Perfecting the past
the best for last

In slow time
the earth stands still
So we can taste heaven
and become immortal

Those sleeping heads
with eyes wide open
Stuck in repeat
hypnotized by the beat
Of rotating love affairs where
Everyone has a seat
for musical chairs

In slow time
the earth stands still
So we can taste heaven
and become and become

A fist full of usual.
it's a fine day for a miracle.
When the deal is in the can
it's a one way plan
Always and forever we're wandering

In slow time
the earth stands still
So we can taste heaven
and become immortal
