Slipping Away

All the world knows

yet none too well

to shun the heaven

that lead men to this hell

If all the stars

disappear and die

and I'm looking at an empty sky

oh I'll be damned

back behind the sun

this kind of love

can't be bought or won girl

And when every second counts

when the minutes

turn a night into a day

because the closer you get

the further you slip away

because the closer you get

the further you slip away

when the summer rain came

well it kissed our feet

and a magic moon lay down on our street

love and death

it's like war and peace

one single outreach

on this empty beach

cos you're damned if you do

and you're damned if you don't

want her to stay away hey

because the closer you get

the further you slip away

cos the closer you get

the further love slipped away,

slipped away

ooh

na na na na na na,

na na na na na na

slipping away,

slipping away

These plastic bags and

these crushed up cans

this twisted wreck

on some foreign land

better hold close

what you hold so dear

cos the vanishing point

is coming oh so near

All this world knows

yet none too well

to shun the heaven

that lead men to this hell

he closer you get

the further you slip away

cos the closer you get

the further love slipped away,

slipped away

he closer you get

the further you slip away

cos the closer you get

the further love slipped away,

slipped away
