Slow Motion
"Slow Motion" was included on the UK version of The Soft Bullletin, but not the initial US release, which featured "The Spiderbite Song" instead. When the album was reissued in 5.1 surround sound format, "Slow Motion" was included in the tracklisting in both the US and UK.
The drum fill that opens "Slow Motion" was later used as a lead-in to the chorus of "Do You Realize??"
Hey, come on over
You know that time
Is going slower
It takes a year
To make a day
And I'm feeling like a float
In a Macy's Day Parade
Or like a boat
Out on the ocean
And I'm driftin' by in slow motion
It takes a year
To make a day
Hey, come on over
You know that time
Is going slower
It takes a year
To make a day
And I'm feelin' like a float
In a Macy's Day Parade
Or like a boat
Out on the ocean
And I'm driftin' by in slow motion (motion)
You know that time
Is going slower
To make a day
And I'm feeling like a float
In a Macy's Day Parade
Out on the ocean
And I'm driftin' by in slow motion
To make a day
You know that time
Is going slower
To make a day
And I'm feelin' like a float
In a Macy's Day Parade
Out on the ocean
And I'm driftin' by in slow motion (motion)
