Movin' very slowly!
Very slowly!
Movin' very slowly!
Very slowly!
Darkness, the fate of the world
Master, give up your soul
Movin' very slowly!
Very slowly!
Movin' very slowly!
Very slowly!
Slower and slower and slower and
Slower and slower and slower and
SLOWER AND SLOWER AND SLOWER AND
SLOWER!

Brain dead, the state of your mind
Acid rains from the 'bove
Movin' very slowly!
Movin' slowly!
Movin' very very slowly!
Very slowly!
Slower and slower and slower and
Slower and slower and slower and
SLOWER AND SLOWER AND SLOWER AND
SLOWERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
Whoa yeah! Whoa yeah! Whoa yeah! Whoa yeah!
Whoa yeeaaaaahhhhh!
Whoa yeah! Whoa yeah!

Burn! Burn! Burn!
