It's like trying to light a cigarette   When the matches you got are soaking wet   Tallest buildings they got are bound to fall   When it's coming down like a wrecking ball      Slow down, Virginia   Don't make me wait   Slow down, Virginia   Don't make me wait   Virginia      It's everything that's cool rolled into one   Everything that's not is left alone   You can hear it ring from near and far   You can hear it scream like a fire alarm      Slow down, Virginia   Don't make me wait   Slow down, Virginia   Don't make me wait   Virginia      Sometimes it sounds like she's been crying   But when she lights, this whole dump is   It's everything that's cool rolled into one   Everything that's not is left alone      You can hear it ring from near and far   You can hear it scream like a fire alarm   Slow down, Virginia
