Slower Than a Ballad

Just in time for a whole lot of nothing

The golden age hasn’t happened

Not to look like you’re the only one surprised

Not to look like you’re close as you are

To the beginning

Summer is long

And slower than a ballad

Sad as a song

An old man sings in Spanish

If I lose the plot, do forgive me that

There’s a union strike at the factory in my head

Feeling like I’m a rare object

Feeling like I’m the end of an era

And you just missed it

Summer is long

And slower than a ballad

Sad as a song

An old man sings in Spanish

Did you travel all the way to Omaha

To bury a thing under an ocean

No miracles among us here

And it’s looking like whatever’s coming

Has just started

Summer is long

And slower than a ballad

Sad as a song

An old man sings in Spanish
