[Intro - heartbeat kick, tape hiss] [Verse 1] I'm in no hurry, take your time The end of the world's a lazy crime Watch the embers, count 'em slow Tick... tick... wherever you go [Pre-Chorus] You like a girl who makes you wait I'm the patience before the gate [Chorus] I'm a slow fuse, baby Burnin' low and sweet Take a hundred years to reach you But I always, always meet (slow... fuse...) [Verse 2] No need to chase, no need to spin I'm the long way the dark gets in Light me once and look away I'll be smolderin' all the way [Pre-Chorus] He runs fast, the angel boy But slow's the thing I most enjoy [Chorus] I'm a slow fuse, baby Burnin' low and sweet Take a hundred years to reach you But I always, always meet [Bridge] Count it down with me Nine... ten... never... Some bombs are kinder When they take forever [Outro] Slow... fuse... burnin' low... ...still here, darling. Still here. [End]
