Slow Down Boy Lyrics
When the shutter clicks on the superstar
And he leaves you with the camera
A picture's worth the moment
You both needed something more
Slow down boy, he's breaking your heart
His innocence will tear you apart
His love is young, you don't have to hurry
You've got all the time in the world
No rules when we play the game
Put the winner with the loser
He's stalling at the gate
And you're racing towards the line
Slow down boy, he's breaking your heart
His innocence will tear you apart
His love is young, you don't have to hurry
You've got all the time in the world
I've watched you from the back seat
Crying as he walked away
I see beauty in the future
Lay back and let him blow you away
When you're dancing with disaster
And living on the edge
Let the moment be your master
Don't get so far ahead
Slow down boy, he's breaking your heart
His innocence will tear you apart
His love is young, you don't have to hurry
You've got all the time in the world
Slow down boy, slow down
Let him show you,
Let him blow you away...
And he leaves you with the camera
A picture's worth the moment
You both needed something more
His innocence will tear you apart
His love is young, you don't have to hurry
You've got all the time in the world
Put the winner with the loser
He's stalling at the gate
And you're racing towards the line
His innocence will tear you apart
His love is young, you don't have to hurry
You've got all the time in the world
Crying as he walked away
I see beauty in the future
Lay back and let him blow you away
And living on the edge
Let the moment be your master
Don't get so far ahead
His innocence will tear you apart
His love is young, you don't have to hurry
You've got all the time in the world
Let him show you,
Let him blow you away...

It's about two dudes going down on each other.
.......
It's about a gay relationship :P
I like the pause in the last line, let him blow you away.
That's deep, man...
"Let the moment be your master Don't get so far ahead"
Love this line.
While it could very well be about a gay relationship, I'm not sure if that's the case. The meaning I get from these lyrics doesn't really seem to imply romance. I really think the song could just as easily be about a close friendship (Dean and Gene's, perhaps?), or even the relationship between a father and a son. Just because both subjects in the song are male and the song talks about love, doesn't necassarily mean it's about romantic love.
@Deka7X9 There's the play on words "let him blow you (away)" and "don't get too far (o' head)" which makes this squarely in the ouevre of prurient double entendre Ween songs.

Even without that, though, there's a camera still in the vehicle after the 'superstar' walks away. The narrator (or the camera man) is in the backseat watching the 'boy' cry after the superstar walks away. Both wanted more (presumably the superstar/winner wanted someone more attractive or who doesn't ejaculate prematurely, the loser/old boy is falling in love and wants a relationship or prolonged connection.)...

Given these clues in the lyrics, this sounds like a hot young gay man who is giving his first on camera porn performance in a car and must be a total natural. The old-timer is smitten. It's not clear who is fellating whom but the old boy finishes too quickly and causes disappointment.
