[Verse 1]
It's like tryin' to light a cigarette
When the matches you got are soaking wet
The tallest buildings we got are bound to fall
When it's coming down like a wrecking ball

[Chorus]
Slow down, Virginia
Don't make me wait
Slow down, Virginia
Don't make me wait
Virginia

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Slow down, Virginia
Don't make me wait
Slow down, Virginia
Don't make me wait
Virginia
[Bridge]
Sometimes it sounds like she's been crying
But when she lights, this whole dump is

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
Slow down, Virginia
Don't make me wait
Slow down, Virginia
Don't make me wait
Slow down, Virginia
Don't make me wait
Slow down, Virginia
Don't make me wait
Virginia
Virginia
