Slow Motion Revolution

[Intro] (Beach waves... distant gulls... a vintage guitar amp hums...) Chewy (laughing): "Everybody's always in a hurry... I say... the tide's never been late." (Band kicks in with a thick, groovy riff.) [Verse 1] The world's running circles, Burning up the road. Everybody's carrying Some invisible load. Meanwhile the pelicans Are stealing somebody's fries. Funny how they're happier... Than half the suits in ties. [Pre-Chorus] Take a breath... Watch the clouds... You don't have to Beat the crowd. [Chorus] Slow down... The ocean ain't in a race. The sun still rises... At the very same pace. Kick off your shoes, Let tomorrow wait. Good vibes grow... When you're running late. Hey... Maybe paradise Was never lost... Maybe everybody Just forgot to stop. [Verse 2] Old Hank says, "The best waves don't hurry." Captain Calypso's Forgotten his worries. Old Sprout's asleep Before the second song. Still wakes up smiling... Can't all be wrong. [Pre-Chorus] Every shell... Every breeze... Life sounds better At half speed. [Chorus] Slow down... The ocean ain't in a race. The moon still dances Across the same old place. Trade your stress For a sunset view. Maybe the tide's Waiting for you. [Bridge] One wave... One laugh... One campfire... One path... No schedule... No deadline... Just friends... Keeping good time. [Instrumental Jam] (Extended psychedelic surf guitar solo with Hammond organ, wah pedal, swirling phaser effects, hand percussion, and crowd clapping along.) [Final Chorus] Slow down... We're all just passing through. Nobody remembers How fast you flew. They remember Who you loved... Who you helped... Who you laughed with... When the sun went down. [Outro] (Band drops to acoustic guitar and group harmonies.) Whoa-oh... Ride the tide... Whoa-oh... Take your time... The world's still spinning... You'll get there... Eventually. (Seagull squawks. Everyone laughs. Fade out.)
