    This song describes living in a terrible and oppressive town where the walls and doors spy on the inhabitants. Though times are dark and strange, the residents will dance in defiance and remain unbowed despite being led around by forces beyond their control, like a slow burn. The song references the fear that permeates both the tenement halls and the outside world, but asserts that the residents stand at the center of it all.

    SLOW BURN by D.

    Bowie

    F Am
    Here shall we live in this- terrible town
    F Am
    Where the price- for our eyes shall squeeze them- tight like a fist
    F F
    And the- walls shall have eyes and the -doors shall have ears
    F Am
    But we'll- dance in the dark and they'll -play with our lives
    Dm Am
    Like a -Slow Burn leading us -on and on and on
    Dm Am
    Like a -Slow Burn turning us -round and round and round
    Bb Gm
    But who are we so small in -times such as these

    F Am
    Slow -Burn
    F Am
    Slow -Burn

    F Am F Am
    F Am
    Oh, -these are the days these are the -strangest of all
    F Am
    These are the nights these are the -darkest to fall
    F Am
    But -who knows echoes in -tenement halls
    F Am
    Who knows though the -years snare them all
    Dm F
    Like a -Slow Burn leading us -on and on and on
    Dm F
    Like a -Slow Burn turning us -round and round and upside down
    Bb Gm
    There's -fear over there there's -fear over ground
    F Am
    Slow -Burn
    F Am
    Slow -Burn
    Dm F
    Like a -Slow Burn leading us -on and on and on
    Dm F
    Like a -Slow Burn turning us -round and round and round
    Bb Gm
    And -here are we at the -center of it all
    F Am
    Slow -Burn
    F Am
    Slow -Burn
    F Am
    Slow -Burn
