A Slow Song

a slow song

Joe Jackson

Music has charms they say

But in some peoples hands

It becomes a savage beast

Cant they control it

Why dont they hold it back

You see my friend and me

Dont have an easy day

And at night we dance not fight

And we need the energy

If not the sympathy

But Im brutalized by bass

And terrorized by treble

Im open to change my mood but

I always get caught in the middle

And I get tired of djs

Whys it always what he plays

Im gonna push right through

Im gonna tell him too

Tell him to

Play us

Play us a slow song

Its late - Im winding down

Am I the only one

To want a strong and silent sound

To pick me up and undress me

Lay me down and caress me

I feel you touch my hand

And whisper in my ear

Ask me how Im feeling now

And I want to get near you

But I cant even hear you

But this is a fine romance

If we have to demandingbe so

We need just one more dance to

Leave here with an understanding

And I get tired of djs

Whys it always what he plays

Im gonna push right through

Im gonna tell him too

Tell him to

Play us

Play us a slow song
