"Take It Slowly" lyrics

It's the year of the cat, it's the year of the dog
In the heart of the night, as you drive through the fog
You were out in the world like a boat on the sea
Like a child in the sun as you float through the dream

Looking for something real in this animal world
Where they eat you alive, if your lips ever curl
It's not your style to react. Keep it moving and go
Know the world's moving fast, but I want you to know

Take it slow, take it slowly now
Take it slow, take it slowly now

It's the year of the dog
When you placed all your bets, but they came at a loss
And it's only OK when the sun's going down
And the world starts to fade 'cause there's no one around

You keep saying oh this life is killing me, this life is killing me, this life is killing me slow
This life is killing me, this life is killing me, this life is killing me slowly now

Take it slow, take it slowly now
Take it slow, take it slowly now

It takes a million years to ever realize
That every day becomes another past life
You're holding onto something that ain't holding you

Take it slow, take it slowly now
Take it slow, take it slowly now

Take it slow, take it slowly now
