Play it Slow

Play it slow, play it slow.
It's like sunlight in December,
And I need to learn the music; play it slow, please Joe,
For it speaks to me of something that my heart can't quite
remember
But I know that I can get it if you'll only play it
slow.
Now you play a lively tune and while I'm
trying to absorb it
I can see you're up to something, 'cause your face gets very
calm,
Then the tune picks up its paws and goes cavorting off to
orbit
Like a science fiction rocket powered by a fusion
bomb!
So I pry my melted sneakers up and
stagger from the crater--
Now I know your showman's instincts tell your fingers "go to
town"
But I really would prefer you left the fireworks for
later
When it burns up on re-entry, I can never get it
down.
