Slipping Away

All the world knows yet none know 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
Oh, yeah, yeah

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

Oh, 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 in 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 know well
To shun the heaven that lead men to this hell
The closer you get the further you slip away

I said now, the closer you get
The further love slipped away
Slipped away, slipped away

The closer you get, yeah
The closer you get
The further you slip away, slippin' away

'Cos the closer you get
The further love slips on away, slippin' away
'Cos the closer you get
Slippin' away, baby love slippin' away from me today

Oh, yeah
The closer you get
The further love slips on away
Slip on away
