Artiste : Peter Gabriel
Titre : Slowburn
We´re character actors from the Tower of Babel
Bewildered, burnt out, hardly able
To sit astride the high wire cable
It´s hard to balance, a little unstable.

Through broken eyes and contact lenses
´Watched you draw your future tenses
See kisses of flame blow out of your lips
You´re back telling me your Apocalypse.

Don´t get me wrong, I´ll be strong
When the slowburn sunset come along
You´ve gotta stay the night
I gotta think that you might.

We´ve tried a hanful of bills and a handful of pills
We´ve tried making movies from a volume of stills
But the words fell like hailstones,
bouncing at our feet
Covering our feelings with a frozen sheet.

A chance to move, I take a shot

I get cold -- you get hot
We look outside, lyin´ awake
See birds breaking surface on a silent lake.

But don´t get me wrong, I´ll be strong
When I´m back on the Isle of Avalon
Don´t get me wrong, I´ll be strong
When the slow burn sunset come along
You´ve got to stay the night
I´ve got to think that you might.

Don´t try to make it easy, it´ll cut you down to size
Darlin´ we´ve got to trust in something
We´re shooting down our skies
shooting down our skies.
