Lyrics
Quickens Your Heart/
Slows Down Your Brain
She moves kind of slow
To be sure that you notice the details
Wearing that glow
She acquired in her formative years
There?s no way she?ll want you
So you know that there?s nothing to gain
She quickens your heart
But man how she slows down your brain.
Her look may be stolen
From some second rate Hollywood picture
Still it is golden
When your dreams are all fading to gray
For she reignites fires
Like coffee when you?re feeling drained
She quickens your heart
But man how she slows down your brain.
BRIDGE:
The hours turn to days
And the days turn to months
And the months turn to fears
Many lost souls have been playing this game
For many long years
The names and the faces
And methods and places
Are different but still
You keep following heartbreak
To swallow the same bitter pill
(Guitar solo)
And her words give you purpose
Though to others they may sound inane
She quickens your heart
But man how she slows down your brain.
(BRIDGE)
So you new from the start
That your fantasy was all in vain
She quickens your heart
But man how she slows down your brain.
