Slowpoke
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Something opened up the gates again
I can't control it, so I’m rushing in
Here comes a mermaid and a little girl
Saw open drawers from around the world
I got some medals hanging on my chest
I've seen some good ones, but I missed the rest
Lady Luck, don't you turn on me
I'm just a student of your history
I'm just a student of your history
Slowpoke, I'm gonna run with you
Wear all your clothes and do what you do
Slowpoke, we’ve got some things to find
When I was faster, I was always behind
When I was faster, I was always behind
Something pushed back the curtain again
The stage is darker and the crowd is in
The song is gentle, and the song is now
Something's missing, but something is found
Something's missing, but something is found
Slowpoke, I'm gonna run with you
Wear all your clothes and do what you do
Slowpoke, we’ve got some things to find
When I was faster, I was always behind
When I was faster
When I was faster, I was always behind
When I was faster
