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...
