         D7 D#7 E7  A +6 +7 A G
           D7 D#7 E7  A +7 +11 B2
                              E                                 A2
              Brushfire fairytales - itsy bitsy diamond wells
                          E                                          A2
              Big fat hurricanes - yellow bellied given names
                                              B2                                       A2
              Well, shortcuts can slow you down and in the end we're bound
                                            E   B2
              To rebound off of we

              Well, dust off your thinking caps - solar powered plastic plants
              Pretty pictures of things we ate - we are only what we hate
              But in the long run we have found silent films are full of sound
              Inaudibly free

                              E                                            G#
                              Slow down everyone you're moving too fast
                              A2                                                        F#
                              Frames can't catch you when you're moving like that
                              Inaudible melodies serve narrational strategies
                              Unobtrusive tones help to notice nothing but the zone

                              Of visual relevancy - frame-lines tell me what to see
                              Chopping like an axe or maybe Eisenstein should just relax
                              Slow down everyone you're moving too fast
                              Frames can't catch you when you're moving like that
                                               *Interlude*    E G# A2 F#

                              Well, Plato's cave is full of freaks
                                 demanding refunds for the things they've seen
                              I wish they could believe
                                                F#                         F
                                 in all the things that never made the screen

                          (resume)
                              And just slow down everyone you're moving too fast
                              Frames can't catch you when you're moving like that
                              Slow down everyone you're moving too fast
                              Frames can't catch you when you're moving like that...
