Fingertip sun at sideshow stalls
They throw the balls
At coconut fur that hides behind
Coloured shades that blind your eyes
Every child´s mother holds an ice-cream cone
They circle round
Perceived unknown by an eye that peers
From a hole in the tent where no one goes
A figure sitting cross-legged on the floor
He´s clogged and clothed in saffron robes
His beads are all he owns

Slow down
Slow down
Someone must have said "let´s slow him down"
Slow down
Slow down
It´s pictured on the arms of the karma man

Fairy tale skin
Depicting scenes from human zoos
Impermanent toys like peace and war
A gentle face you´ve seen before

Karma man tattooed on your side
The wheel of life
I see my times and who I´ve been
I only live now and I don´t know why
I struggle hard to take these pictures in
But,
All my friends can see is just the pinkness of his skin

Slow down
Slow down
Someone must have said "let´s slow him down"
Slow down
Slow down
It´s pictured on the arms of the karma man

Slow down
Slow down
Someone must have said "let´s slow him down"
Slow down
Slow down
It´s pictured on the arms of the karma man
