Third Eye Blind
Slow Motion
[Verse 1: Stephan Jenkins]
Miss Jones taught me English
But I think I just shot her son
'Cause he owed me money
With a bullet in the chest you cannot run
Now he's bleeding in a vacant lot
The one in the summer where we used to smoke pot
I guess I didn't mean it
But man, you should've seen it
His flesh explode
[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
Slow motion, see me let go
We tend to die young
Slow motion, see me let go
What a brother knows
Slow motion, see me let go
[Verse 2: Stephan Jenkins]
Now the cops will get me
But girl, if you would let me
I'll take your pants off
I got a little bit of blow, we could both get off
Later bathing in the afterglow
Two lines of coke I cut with Drano
And her nose starts to bleed
A most beautiful ruby red
[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
Slow motion, see me let go
We'll remember these days
Slow motion, see me let go
Urban life decays
Slow motion, see me let go
[Bridge: Stephan Jenkins]
And at home
My sister's eating paint chips again
Maybe that's why she's insane
I shut the door to her moaning
And I shoot smack in my veins
And wouldn't you
See my neighbor's beating his wife
Because he hates his life
There's a knock to his fist as he swings
Oh man, what a beautiful thing
And death slides close to me
Won't grow old to be
A junkie wino creep
[Verse 3: Stephan Jenkins]
Hollywood glamorized my wrath
I'm a young urban psychopath
I incite murder for your entertainment
'Cause I needed the money
What's your excuse?
The joke's on you
[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
Slow motion, see me let go
Oh yeah
Slow motion, see me let go
Ah
Slow motion, see me let go
Ooh
