In these robes of bloody red
I dress my bones for thee
If thou still hast no use of it
I'd see all the fools set free
'Cause punctured lungs make breathing hard
And some hearts cease to beat
I see your breath, parched lips in the cold air
Tell me, how do you sleep
Take your cup and fill it again
But you move so slow
Yeah you move so slow
You move so slow
My old friend, it's been so long
Our hairs show streaks of grey
And as for that last time we spoke
I've nothing more to say
Though somewhere someone can see the sun rising
As we watch it setting
I see you've got a little girl
That's so sweet
She started school last week
They always seem to grow so fast
But you move so slow
Yeah you move so slow
You move so slow
Nature's forest rivers flow
With a trail of trodden leaves
Evergreen in the face of God
My countenance deceives
So stick that maggot on your hook
It wriggles and it writhes
Cast your line, sit back and sigh
And wait for the maggot to die
Ain't it hard to run that race
When you move so f*cking slow
Yeah you move so slow
You move so slow
