Slow Down Sister (Version 2)

Deep Purple

4

Cold looking woman

Like a switch-blade knife

Baby says “I'm gonna break the law tonight”

Ooh, if your daddy could see you now

Rock and roll rebel on a jailbreak run

Big operator, but a little high-strung

There's one in every crowd

You got it comin' to ya

It happens every time

That's what you get for a life of crime

You got it coming to you

If you cross that line

And you can't back up

When the going gets tough

And if the fire's that hot

You better kiss the girl goodbye

Slow down sister

You're burn, burn, burnin'

At the speed of light

You better slow down sister

Put on the brakes

Won't get thru the night

Machine gun love

Gonna shoot to thrill

I'm tellin' you that little girl's kiss could kill

She got me stranded on a one-way street

Can't break the chains

The ties that bind

Slayin' to the rhythm

And my heart's in time

Be where the taste is bittersweet

You got it comin' to ya

It happens every time

That's what you get for a life of crime

You got it coming to you

If you cross that line

When the lights roll down

And you hit the ground

It'll happen so fast

You'll never even have a chance

Slow down sister

I say look out now

Danger in the little girl's eyes

Slow down sister

Well you're gonna find out

Trouble in paradise

That ain't nice

You're a non-stop party

You're a butterfly ball

Twice around the block

You're thinking you done it all

Come on now baby

You know it's true

You want all the money

And the price of fame

Ride to glory

On another man's name

Now there's a lesson here for you

You got it comin' to ya

It happens every time

That's what you get for a life of crime

You got it coming to you

When you cross that line

And you can't back up

When it gets real rough

If the fire's that hot

You better kiss the girl goodbye

Slow down sister

Burn, burn, burnin'

At the speed of light

Slow down sister

Put on the brakes

Now we're gettin' thru the night

You better slow down sister

I said “Look out now”

There's danger

In the little girl's eyes

Slow down sister

Slow down, slow down

Gonna find out there's trouble

Trouble in paradise

I said slow
