Peter Gabriel - Slowburn (Extended Version) lyrics

[Peter Gabriel - Slowburn Extended Version lyrics]

We're character actors from the
Tower of Babel
Bewildered, burned 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 got to stay the night
I got to think that you might

We've tried a handful of bills
And a handful of pills
We've tried making movies from
A volume of stills
Words fell like hailstones bouncing


At our feet
Covering our feelings with a frozen sheet

A chance to move out, take a shot
I get cold, you get hot
We look outside, lying 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 slowburn sunset come along
You've got to stay the night
I've got to think you might

Don't try to make it easy
It'll cut you down to size
Darling, we've got to trust in something
We're shooting down our skies
Shooting down, shooting down our skies
Shooting down our
