Poor paper pilot try to get ahead of time 
Pin you down, speed it up, just obey the signs 
In the middle of the night 
Do the cryptic voices ever sleep? 
Had a mind of your own, gave it all away 
Keeping pace with the pain, never learned to play 
In the middle of your isolation 
Do you shoot sorrow in your veins? 

Alexander, always worried 
Why are you in such a hurry? 
Alexander 
Alexander

Up against the wall with a honey-tounged fate 
Bleed you dry, burn you out, make you feel the weight 
In the middle of a secret garden 
Something inside is breaking down 

Alexander, always worried 
Why are you in such a hurry? 
Alexander 
Alexander

Take a look at yourself Alexander 
Living like a no-man's-lander 
Better take what they hand ya 
Nobody's ever gonna try to understand you 
Alexander 
Alexander

Slow down Alexander 
Slow down Alexander 
Slow down Alexander 
Slow down Alexander
Slow down, slow down 
Slow down, slow down 
Slow down, slow down 
Slow down, slow down 
Slow down, slow down 
Slow down, slow down 
Slow down, slow down
