Slipping Away

歌詞

I once had Everything my heart desired I was always looking forward I once knew Everything there was to know I was the only one who thought so I once was Everything a man should be Tall, red, rich and handsome I had morality, Mr. personality Give my guidance to anyone who'd take it Love of the year, captain of my class Crew member of the month, I'd hit the headlines Heads I'd win; Tails, I'd lose Guess what? Tails won It's all slipping away (slowly and surely) Slipping away (slowly and surely) It's all slipping away (slowly and surely) Slipping away (slowly and surely) I once loved Everything and everyone I grew up quick when things went wrong I once dreamt Life was a bed of roses Until I lay down in a bed of thorns I once thought The world would bow down at my feet I would just sit back and let things happen Then I woke up in a blinding flash of light And out of nowhere I saw this faint figure Quite clearly pointing its finger And then I heard a voice say "My son, This world is for the taking But only if you want it bad enough." I said "My god, I have tried!" It's all slipping away (slowly and surely) Slipping away (slowly and surely) It's all slipping away (slowly and surely) Slipping away (slowly and surely) I had promise, ate with a silver spoon, fed from a silver plate I had dedication, I had respect, I was God's gift to mankind I had a head full of dreams, I believed in things Now, I've got a pocket full of nothing, I keep on losing it It's all slipping away (slowly and surely) All slipping away (slowly and surely) It's all slipping away (slowly and surely) It's all slipping away (slowly and surely) It's all slipping away (slowly and surely) It's all slipping away (slowly and surely) It's all slipping away (slowly and surely) It's all slipping away Thank you very much
