Dreamy city
Still and quiet in the morning sun
Walking empty streets
Where on earth is everyone?
A silent sky above
Clouds scattered in the blue
It’s a perfect day for love
If that's your point of view
Living in slow motion
Nothing seems quite real
Where's the old commotion?
What's the new big deal?
I'm just a failed flaneur
Looking for a gadabout
But where that life is lived
I have yet to figure out
There's no one to tell me
No one to catch my eye
Living in slow motion
It's a long goodbye
I'm looking for someone
To help me get into here
A practical dreamer
Who is gonna volunteer?
Living in slow motion
Nothing feels quite real
Such a strange emotion
What will be revealed?
Living in slow motion
Nothing seems quite real
Such a strange emotion
What will be revealed?
In slow motion
Drifting far behind
Real time
Now I'm living in
Slow motion
Drifting far behind
Real time
Still and quiet in the morning sun
Walking empty streets
Where on earth is everyone?
A silent sky above
Clouds scattered in the blue
It’s a perfect day for love
If that's your point of view
Living in slow motion
Nothing seems quite real
Where's the old commotion?
What's the new big deal?
I'm just a failed flaneur
Looking for a gadabout
But where that life is lived
I have yet to figure out
There's no one to tell me
No one to catch my eye
Living in slow motion
It's a long goodbye
I'm looking for someone
To help me get into here
A practical dreamer
Who is gonna volunteer?
Living in slow motion
Nothing feels quite real
Such a strange emotion
What will be revealed?
Living in slow motion
Nothing seems quite real
Such a strange emotion
What will be revealed?
In slow motion
Drifting far behind
Real time
Now I'm living in
Slow motion
Drifting far behind
Real time
