Mommy's in the kitchen, cooking up something good

and daddy's on the sofa, pride of the neighborhood

my brother's in the ballet, it seems he's got it set

and I'll be up at midnight, with my cigarette

Ooh when life moves this slowly

ooh just try and let it go

ooh when life moves this slowly

ooh just try and let it go

Daddy's in the basement, cooking up something fine

while rick's out on the pavement, flipping it for dimes

if there's anything redeeming, I haven't seen it yet

and I'm still up at midnight, chewing nicorette

Ooh when life moves this slowly

ooh just try and let it go

ooh when life moves this slowly

ooh just try and let it go
