She's slowing down again She's slowing down again Living life at a pace her own kids can't keep She can see it's everything that she needs Forced up by the gauges at the top of her dials She can read it She believes in it She's slowing down again She's slowing down again Carrying all the weight That surrounds her Like it or not When a breather's all that she really needs Not just a pretty face No there's so much more that she's got She's the cash and carry So extraordinarily How many times have I seen you walk right by Never stopping to look around Nothing but determination in both blue eyes You'll never get it all done lying down She's slowing down again She's slowing down again Surface ain't a question of beauty No it is not It's the depths that she can barely impede Brought up in the roll Is her duty one of a lot She's the cash and carry So extraordinarily She's slowing down again She's slowing down again How many times have I seen you walk right by Never stopping to look around Nothing but determination in both blue eyes You'll never get it all done lying down The obligations to her world I'm guessing Can be refunded at the end Of this mess that she's in She's a true visionary Extraordinarily She's slowing down again She's slowing down again She's slowing down again
