歌詞
[Verse 1]
A restless eye across a weary room
A glazed look and I was on the road to ruin
The music played and played as we whirled without end
No hint, no word, her honor to defend
[Verse 2]
"I will, I will", she sighed to my request
Then she tossed her mane while my resolve was put to the test
Then drowned in desire, our souls on fire, I lead the way to the funeral pyre
And without a thought of the consequence, I gave in to my decadence
[Verse 3]
One slip and down the hole we fall
It seems to take no time at all
A momentary lapse of reason
That binds a life for life
A small regret you won't forget
There'll be no sleep in here tonight
[Verse 4]
Was it love or was it the idea of being in love?
Or was it the hand of fate that seemed to fit just like a glove?
The moment slipped by and soon the seeds were sown
The year grew late and neither one wanted to remain alone
[Verse 5]
One slip and down the hole we fall
It seems to take no time at all
A momentary lapse of reason
That binds a life to a life
The one regret you will never forget
There'll be no sleep in here tonight
