Michael Messer and Chaz Jankel - Slow Down Billy

Well….Everybody jumping and chasing around 
Nobody seems to have their feet on the ground 

I look to the east and I look to the west 

Everywhere I look there’s a terrible mess  



I can remember when time was slow 

Sit back in the summer watch the flowers grow 

Nobody cares just win the race 

You know I’m not a rat I can’t keep the pace



The world keeps turning way too fast  

Can’t tell my future can’t see my past

Sitting in a cafe looking out at the road

Too much coffee I’m on overload

Slow down Billy slow down Jane

Ease off the pedal and I’ll do the same 

Slow down sister slow down brother

Don’t be cruel, be kind to one another



Well…A little bird told me about a nest of vipers

All I see before me are stereotypers

It feels like the future coming way too fast

Seems every minute gonna be the last



Late at night at the launderette

We used sit around smoking cigarettes

Nobody knew it was Russian roulette 

That was way back when before the Internet



Back in the day we all got along

By sharing a drink and singing a song

Everything’s changed what went wrong

We’ve all woken up to a brand new dawn



Slow down Billy slow down Jane

Ease off the pedal and I’ll do the same 

Slow down sister slow down brother
Don’t be cruel, be kind to one another



Slow down sister slow down brother

Don’t be cruel, be kind to one another

Slow down Billy slow down Jane

Ease off the pedal and I’ll do the same
