Thereâ??s a light bulb dangling from string
Itâ??s slowly swaying up over my head now
As I jot down the words thatâ??ll never be sung
And wait for my headache to numb
And the wind sounds as if the worldâ??s sighing
And the moonâ??s just a torn fingernail
As the TV flickers and hums by the wall
And I wait for my eyesight to fade

So, So, So
Itâ??s so damn slow
So, So, So
Itâ??s so damn slow

And the bright-eyed choke on ambition
And the old folks circle their graves
And the young ones are busy destroying their names
And youâ??re still just wasting away.
I sit and watch the screen for a message
Some kinda sign that says weâ??re OK
But the screen stays blank till I turn the thing off
And wait for my conscience to break.

So, So, So
Itâ??s so damn slow
So, So, So
Itâ??s so damn slow

I hope youâ??re learning to listen
And I hope youâ??re learning to stay
And I hope you find what youâ??re missing
And I hope that youâ??re making youâ??re way
Iâ??m a headcase if I donâ??t keep moving
And my head hurts if I donâ??t sit still
Itâ??s an itch that Iâ??ll never stop scratching
Itâ??s a hole that Iâ??ll never quite fill
