From the album The Low Life
Sirens and traffic sounds at the beginning of Don’t Slow Me Down set up its theme of moving fast. A road song with solid harmonies, it makes New York seem like a dream and features conversational solos between the instruments.
Lyrics
Well I woke up dead on the floor near the bed, yeah
Woke up chokin' on a dream come true
Traffic lights, taxis, buildings high yeah
Every night is just a blur
But that don’t
Don’t slow me down
That don’t
Don’t slow me down
That don’t
Don’t slow me down
That don’t
Don’t slow me down
New York City is where it’s at yeah
Baby, baby ya believe you me
18 year old girl sell
herself for some blow
I woke up next to her
just in time for the show
But that don’t
Don’t slow me down
That don’t
Don’t slow me down
That don’t
Don’t slow me down
That don’t
Don’t slow me down
Come on
