Slow and Easy - Count Zero

Lying in the lion’s den, so close.

Something shakes outside and wakes us both.

Your whisper breaks, you sound alarmed.

I’ll keep you safe and sound, unharmed.

Lay low.

Flowers guard our bed with red and gold

The pillows frame your head with red and gold

Our bodies weave a tapestry

we study.

And the mystery

unfolds.

Slow and Easy

Woman, we have so much time

and I swear I’ll give you anything

and everything that’s mine

Slow and Easy

Girl, we’ve got the night and more

And I’ll hold you tight until the light

of dawn climbs ‘cross our floor

Slow and Easy

I close my eyes pretending I can’t tell

how deeply you spin me into your spell.

The breeze denies the candlelight.

We’re blind inside this dark delight-

ful hell.
