Slow Serious

Lyrics

I'd Never Seen The Ocean 'til That Afternoon
The Wind Was Bitter Icy
I Promised We'd Be Leaving Soon

The Gale Picked Me Up
Startled, From My Perch I Fly
I Was Sort Of Happy Until I Met The Tide

Suddenly It Was Different, Kind Of Like In A Dream
The Very Last Thing I Thought I Heard
Was You Begin To Scream

It's So Funny How Things Appear To Be
When You're Warm And Safe At Home
It's So Funny How Things Begin To Feel
When You Wind Up In The Middle Of Something Real

I'd Never Flown An Aeroplane High Across The Skies
'til One Wednesday I Got My Chance When Our Pilot Died

As I Climbed Into The Cabin
I Heard The Attendant Say
"It's Just Like Riding The Big Wheel
Except Different In A Way."

When I Sat Down, It Shocked Me
Not At All Like On TV
Lots More Knobs, Wheels And Switches
And No Parachute Left For Me

It's So Funny How Things Appear To Be
When You're Warm And Safe At Home
It's So Funny How Things Begin To Feel
When You Wind Up In The Middle Of Something Real

So Real

I Once Thirsted On Another Planet
Which One Is Hard To Tell
But If I Had To Draw It On A Page
It'd Look A Lot Like Hell

A Lot Like Hell

Lots Of People With No Faces Weeping On The Land
As They Harvest Screams And Grasses With Arms That Held No Hands
They Drank A Shrink, Desire Froze, Begging For Their Cup
Sand Spilled Forth From My Lips, And I Could No Wake Up

It's So Funny How Things Appear To Be
When You're Warm And Safe In Bed
It's So Sad How Things Begin To Feel
When You Wind Up In The Middle Of Something Real

So Real, So Real
