DAVID BOWIE - Slip Away lyrics

rate me

Oogie waits for just another day

Drags his bones to see the Yankees play

Bones Boy talks and flickers gray

Oh, they slip away

Once a time they nearly might have been

Bones and Oogie on a silver screen

No one knew what they could do

Except for me and you

They slip away

They slip away

CHORUS

Don't forget to keep your head warm

Twinkle twinkle Uncle Floyd

Watching all the world and war torn

How I wonder where you are

Sailing over Coney Island

Twinkle twinkle Uncle Floyd

We were dumb but you were fun, boy

How I wonder where you are

Oo-oo

Oogie knew there's never ever time

Some of us will always stay behind

Down in space it's always 1982

The joke we always knew

Oo-oo

What's-a matter with you

C'mon, let's go

Slip away

Oo-oo

CHORUS
