I know that it's bad
That it's the kind that they can't operate on
And I know it's real slow, honey
Painful and real slow

Styrofoam coffee cups and bagged drugs that never work enough
And I know its real slow, honey
Painful and real slow

When we were young and hit like hammers
I'd write the nails in your hands
When 99% of us is failure
There's no going back
And I know its real slow, honey
Painful and real slow

Blackbird come the break of dawn
The TVs on, I turn it off
Walk outside, get in the car
Stare at the wheel and fall apart

I get it all the time
Bright eyes to bat and hide behind
But I know they're just for show, honey
Painful and just for show
Black rooms to babysit and white halls to pace and wait for it
And I know it's too slow, honey
Painful and real slow

When we were young and hit like hammers
I'd write the nails in your hands
When 99% of us is failure
There's no going back
And I know its real slow, honey
Painful and real slow

Blackbird come the break of day
You swallow the s**t that people say
Walk outside look at the sky
Ask it to fall or tell you why
