cooking up something good

mommy's in the kitchen cooking up something good

and daddy's on the sofa

pride of the neighborhood

my brother's in the ballet

it seems he's got it set

and i'll be up at midnight with my cigarette

ooh

when life moves this slowly

ooh

just try and let it go

ooh

when life moves this slowly

ooh

just try and let it go

daddy's in the basement cooking up something fine

while rick's out on the pavement

flipping it for dimes

if there's anything redeeming i haven't seen it yet

and i'm still up at midnight chewing nicorette

ooh

when life moves this slowly

ooh

just try and let it go

ooh

when life moves this slowly

ooh

just try and let it go
