Slip Away

Slip Away

Well I think I’m gonna to slip away
Out the backdoor through the alleyway
The parties only started
But I wouldn’t be caught dead
Papering the walls waiting for you to say
How much you wish that I would stay
No babe, I think I’m gonna slip, slip, slip-slip away

Girl, ain’t you the queen of the day?
All the king’s horses are pulling your sleigh
Venus had her furs
Carmilla had her girls
You’re gonna leave them all talking when there’s nothing to say
And all the princes serve their heads on a tray
But honey, I ain’t no prince, so I’ll just slip-slip away     

You say you’ll settle for the top of the world
When you’re still crawling
But you know – who you are
How to wear – who you really are
And you’ll be damned if you don’t bring the whole room to pause

But not me!

No, I think I’m gonna to slip away
Out the backdoor through the alleyway
The parties only started
But I wouldn’t be caught dead
Papering the walls waiting for you to say
How much you wish that I would stay
No babe, I think I’m gonna slip, slip, slip-slip away

But we had good times
Thought them the best of times
But you said happy endings
Are endings that aren’t at the end

So I’ll just slip, slip, slip-slip away
I’m gonna slip, slip, slip-slip away
Slip, slip, slip-slip away
Slip, slip, slip-slip away…
