Slipped Away

You're a soul with no religion

There's ice in your embrace

In your dance of indecision

I see the anger in your face

A little drink to help my vision

A little something for the pain

There's no drug for my condition

There's no sweetness in the taste

Tell me where the ride's gonna lead you

Do I have to pay to be your friend?

There's nothing left to say

When you slipped away (I can see you fading fast)

(I won't let you take me)

When you slipped away (I can see your burning stare)

(Nothing is going to shake me) oh, you slipped away

You're a world of blind ambition

Staring through the looking glass

You will meet your own collision

When your conscience comes to task

Steal the love from those around you

Help yourself to everything

Take the shelter that surrounds you

It leaves you standing in the rain

Tell me if the money can heal you

Do I have to pray to make it end?

There's nothing left to say

When you slipped away (I can see you fading fast)

(I won't let you take me)

When you slipped away (I can see your burning stare)

(Nothing is going to shake me) oh, you slipped away

Slipped away

When you slipped away (I can see your burning stare)

(Nothing is going to shake me) oh, when she slipped away

(Hey, hey) I can see you fading fast, I won't let you take me

I can see your burning stare, nothing is going to shake me, oh

When she slipped away
