St. Vincent – Fast Slow Disco Lyrics | Genius Lyrics

Fast Slow Disco Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I sway in place to a slow disco
And a glass for the saints and a bow for the road

[Pre-Chorus]
Am I thinking what everybody's thinkin'?
That I'm so glad I came, but I can't wait to leave?

[Chorus]
Slip my hand from your hand
Leave you dancin' with a ghost
Slip my hand from your hand
Leave you dancin' with a ghost

[Verse 2]
There is blood in my ears and a fool in the mirror
And the bay of mistakes couldn't get any clearer (Any clearer)

[Pre-Chorus]
Am I thinking what everybody's thinkin'?
That I'm so glad I came, but I can't wait to leave?

[Chorus]
Slip my hand from your hand
Leave you dancin' with a ghost
Slip my hand from your hand
Leave you dancin' with a ghost
[Outro]
Don't it beat a slow dance to death?
Don't it beat a slow dance to death? (Don't it beat a slow dance)
Don't it beat a slow dance to death? (Beat a slow dance, don't it beat a slow dance)
Don't it beat a slow dance to death? (Slow dance, slow dance to death)
Don't it beat a slow dance to death? (Oh-oh-oh)
Don't it beat a slow dance to death?
Don't it beat a slow dance to death?
Don't it beat a slow dance to death?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What inspired the remix?
Genius Answer

St. Vincent said she was inspired by Taylor Swift to produce a more upbeat version of “Slow Disco”:

I don’t want to start a weird rumour or anything, but I swear to God, you know because Jack Antonoff’s bros with Taylor Swift because they work together a lot, and I feel like Taylor was like, ‘You should make this a pop song."

What has the artist said about the song?
Genius Answer

I always felt this song could wear many different outfits and live many different lives. Here she is in disco pants, sweating on a New York dance floor.
