Put on a slow, dumb show for you and crack you up

---

Slow Show

Standing at the punch table swallowing punch.
Can't pay attention to the sound of anyone.
A little more stupid, a little more scared,
every minute more unprepared.

I made a mistake in my life today,
everything I love gets lost in drawers.
I want to start over, I want to be winning.
Way out of sync from the beginning.

I wanna hurry home to you,
put on a slow, dumb show for you
and crack you up.
So you can put a blue ribbon on my brain.

I'm very, very frightening.
I'll overdo it.

Looking for somewhere to stand and stay.
I leaned on the wall and the wall leaned away.
Can I get a minute of not being nervous
and not thinking I'm a dick.
My leg is sparkles, my leg is pins
I better get my shit together, better gather my shit in.
You could drive a car through my head in five minutes
from one side of it to the other.

I wanna hurry home to you,
put on a slow, dumb show for you
and crack you up.
So you can put a blue ribbon on my brain.
I'm very, very frightening.
I'll overdo it.

You know I dreamed about you,
for twenty-nine years before I saw you.
You know I dreamed about you.
I missed you for,
for twenty-nine years.
