I don't wanna say the last words Or be the music to your sad song But now we have to say goodbye Don't let tears cloud your eyes I will slip away I don't wanna be a prisoner I would rather be a visitor But I don't wanna miss a thing Or be somebody's birthday wish So I will slip away Now we're living in a ghost town The city of the lighthouse That miles away and years apart, will always be my home I wish I could stay but I am already gone I will slip away I will slip away I will slip away I will slip away Slip away Slip away Slip away I don't wanna say the last words I don't wanna be your sad song I don't wanna say goodbye I don't wanna be a prisoner Don't wanna be a hero I don't wanna waste this life I don't wanna say the last words I don't wanna be your sad song I don't wanna say goodbye I don't wanna be a prisoner Don't wanna be a hero I don't wanna waste this life Slip away Slip away Slip away Slip away

Oogie waits for just another day Drags his bones to see the Yankees play Bones Boy talks and flickers grey 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 Don't forget to keep your head warm Twinkle twinkle Uncle Floyd Watching all the world in war torn How I wonder where you are Ohhh-oo Sailing over Coney Island Twinkle twinkle Uncle Floyd We were dumb but you were fun, boy How I wonder where you are 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'sa matter with you C'mon, let's go Slip away Oo-o Don't forget to keep your head warm Twinkle twinkle Uncle Floyd Watching all the world inwar torn How I wonder where you are Ohhh-oo Sailing over Coney Island Twinkle twinkle Uncle Floyd We were dumb but you were fun, boy How I wonder where you are

Locked inside my mind, passing time With nothing to lose Trying to find a reason to fight With nothing to prove I've been waiting for the light to glow Waiting for the love to show Waiting for you I'm just laying in the fading light Waiting for the chance to strike Waiting for you But it's never right It's never good enough for you Can't speak my mind 'Cause you don't want to hear the truth You only tell me What you want me to say You've made your point But I can't do this myself How could you do this to me? It's getting harder to breathe Can't hold me down Can't drown me out 'Cause I'll slip away slowly The closer you hold me Temporary moments of flight Distorting the view Visionaries chasing me Hides for something to do When everything's been done before You're still knocking at my door Begging for more When you're spinning me another line Thinking I'll just take them blind Is that all I'm for? But it's never right It's never good enough for you Can't speak my mind 'Cause you don't want to hear the truth You only tell me What you want me to say You've made your point But I can't do this myself How could you do this to me? It's getting harder to breathe Can't hold me down Can't drown me out 'Cause I'll slip away slowly The closer you hold me How could you do this to me? It's getting harder to breathe Can't hold me out Can't drown me out 'Cause I'll slip away slowly The closer you hold me

Loneliness and all I was stuck to the spot without a friend Alone again And I hunger and I thirst For some shiver For some whispered words And the promise to come And you saw me low Alone again Didn't they say that only love will win in the end I didn't fool you but I failed you In short, made a fool out of you And a younger heart And I rage and I rage But perhaps I will come of age And be ready for you And you saw me low Alone again Didn't they say that only love will win in the end Didn't they say that only love will win in the end And you saw me low Alone again Didn't they say that only love will win in the end Didn't they say that only love will win in the end

Cold is the water It freezes your already cold mind Already cold, cold mind And death is at your doorstep And it will steal your innocence But it will not steal your substance But you are not alone in this And you are not alone in this As brothers, we will stand and we'll hold your hand Hold your hand And you are the mother The mother of your baby child The one to whom you gave life And you have your choices And these are what make man great His ladder to the stars But you are not alone in this And you are not alone in this As brothers, we will stand and we'll hold your hand Hold your hand But I will tell the night And whisper, "Lose your sight" But I can't move the mountains For you
