Stop Moving So Fast

Have you seen a hummingbird up close?
Its wings, its heart, its monster ambition
To the people who are still open to the world
Kisses are a better fate than wisdom

Look around
Take photographs
What you know is yours
But it won’t last
Learn to walk over water
And learn to dance
We're on an island
Stop moving so fast

This city is a diamond iceberg
A brass chest of coins that you bury and find
We make it up together
You can call it New York or whatever you like

Look around
Take photographs
What you know is yours
But it won’t last
Learn to walk over water
And learn to dance
We're on an island
Stop moving so fast

This is where we say goodbye
Home all the more when you leave and return
All that you love and don’t want to lose
This map is a way you can keep them for good

Look around
Take photographs
What you know is yours
But it won’t last
Learn to walk over water
And learn to dance
We're on an island
Stop moving so fast
We're on an island
Stop moving so fast
We're on an island
Stop moving so fast

about

The Bushwick Book Club Brooklyn, New York

We started in January 2009 playing songs written in response to Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions. We haven't stopped since. We've written & performed songs inspired by everything from "On The Origin of Species" to Dr. Seuss to Raymond Carver. There are BBCs popping up nationwide now. Bushwick Book Club Seattle started in 2010 & is run by Geoff Larson. Our nerdy dare-devilry knows no bounds. ... more
