Slow Burn (Single Edit) [2025 Remaster]

by David Bowie

Lyrics : David Bowie
Music : David Bowie
Producer : David Bowie
Here shall we live
In this terrible town
Where the price for our eyes
Shall squeeze them tight like a fist
And the walls shall have eyes
And the doors shall have ears
But we'll dance in the dark
And they'll play with our lives
Like a slow burn, leading us on and on and on (On and on, on and on)
Like a slow burn, turning us 'round and 'round and 'round ('Round and 'round, 'round and 'round)
Hark who are we, so small in times such as these?
Slow burn
Slow burn
Oh, these are the days
These are the strangest of all
These are the nights
These are the darkest to fall
But who knows
Echoes in tenement halls?
Who knows
Though the years snare them all?
Like a slow burn, leading us on and on and on (On and on, on and on)
Like a slow burn, turning us 'round and 'round and upside down ('Round and 'round, 'round and 'round)
There's fear overhead, there's fear overground
Slow burn
Slow burn
Like a slow burn, leading us on and on and on (On and on, on and on)
Like a slow burn, turning us 'round and 'round and 'round ('Round and 'round, 'round and 'round)
And here are we, at the center of it all
Slow burn
Slow burn
Slow burn
