Slow Down Sun Down - CocoRosie

Break-down, China-town, come-down, count-down

Cross-town, de-crown, down-town, evening-gown

Go-down, hand-me-down, ho-down, low-down

Melt-down, mid-town, Mo-town, night-gown

Throw-down, put-me-down, re-noun, rub-down

Shake-down, shanty-town, show-down, shut-down

Slow-down, sun-down

Slow-down, sun-down

Like a dead mouse in a flophouse

Nowhere else to go but up

Heavenwards is how it hurts

And even though my heart froze

I’m learning you’re exactly what I chose

Boohoo, crying all into my witches' brew

Predisposed for heartache I suppose

Black and blue mom and pop juxtaposed

And it’s just the way the story goes

She called me «Coco» called you «Rose»

Hand me down all your favorite clothes

Horseshoe tossed, all the fortunes lost

Love, she flew away with the doves

Now it’s my time, my time to shine

I got my own crimes to do

Don’t gotta pick up after you

But I just don’t know what to do

With all these empty rooms

When you first laid eyes on me, did you never want to put me down?

Was I worth more to you than any girl in town, any girl in town?

When you first laid eyes on me, did you never want to put me down?

Was I worth more to you than any girl in town, any girl in town?

Tear my hair, throw my shoes

Make love to you, I’ll make love to you

I love you, I do, I guess

And you’re so handsome, I got to say «yes»

Tear my hair, throw my shoes

Make love to you, I’ll make love to you

You love me, you do, I guess

And you’re so handsome, I got to say «yes»

I got to say «yes»

Home is where you hang your hat, all of that, mouse and cats and dogs

What are the odds of finding love again, one that you can call your kindred

spirit?

You want to hear it?

Yeah

I was humiliated, ill-fated, impersonated, immigrated, manipulated, liquidated,

medicated, dilapidated, isolated

I was alone in my own home, is where the heart breaks

When you first laid eyes on me, did you never want to put me down?

Was I worth more to you than any girl in town, any girl in town?

When you first laid eyes on me, did you never want to put me down?

Oh was I worth more to you than any girl in town?

Tear my hair, throw my shoes

Make love to you, I’ll make love to you

You love me, you do, I guess

And you’re so handsome, I got to say «yes»

Tear my hair, throw my shoes

Make love to you, I’ll make love to you

I love you, I do, I guess

Ooh, I got to say «yes»

When you first laid eyes on me did you never want to put me down?

Was I worth more to you than any girl in town, any girl in town?
