slowly, slowly
smoke your poison
and wait for it to take effect

slowly, slowly
become a woman
that's the prize that you collect

there's no style or grace or chic
there's no life that you were promised
only death one day to keep

slowly, slowly
time is crawling
earth is burning, icebergs melt
moon's eclipsing
sun that's scorching
and so what?
the game is mate
