Slow Motion - Third Eye Blind

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

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

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

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

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

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

Slow motion, see me let go

Oh yeah

Slow motion, see me let go

Ah

Slow motion, see me let go

Ooh
