Jewel A Long Slow Slide Lyrics:
Lights are bright in the circus
The geeks and the freaks all
light cigarettes and laugh at
your misery
While the white of the curtain
closing crushes your heart
The inertia of loneliness
tears your flesh apart
It's a long slow slide
It's a long slow slide
It's a long slow slide
Down
Once the neon is gone
There's still that golden
splinter at your side
His manners are charming
But who are you fooling
You're still nobody's bride

And Bukowski's widow
Haunts each empty seat on the ferris wheel
As ghoulish lovers collide
in a collage of kisses that
they steal
It's a long slow slide
It's a long slow slide
It's a long slow slide
Down
And outside your window you can see
the circus it's lurching
with rings of smoke
You laugh halfheartedly at the punchline
Not realizing they've made you the joke
And inside you're heart a war is raging
A region still untamed
The worst fear I can imagine is for
the mystery to be named
Is for the mystery to be named
It's a long slow slide
It's a long slow slide
It's a long slow slide
Down
