I'm trying hard to understand I'm trying hard to do the things it takes to be a man Life's slipping away from me It's not the way I thought it'd be Life's slipping away from me It's not the way I thought it'd be I'm trying hard to understand And to know just who I am I'm trying hard to get a break Or just to give a damn I'm trying hard to get away But I always seem to stay I'm trying hard to understand A fucking word you say Life's slipping away from me It's not the way I thought it'd be Life's slipping away from me It's not the way I thought it'd be (The way I thought it'd be) Somebody help me I'm in this mess and I'm slipping away Somebody help me I'm in this mess and I'm slipping away I'm trying hard to understand But I don't know if I can I'm trying hard to make the best Out of this mess I'm in Life's slipping away from me It's not the way I thought it'd be Life's slipping away from me It's not the way I thought it'd be Life's slipping away from me I can't hold on I can't believe it Life's slipping away from me It's not the way I thought it'd be Somebody help me I'm in this mess and I'm slipping away Somebody help me I'm in this mess and I'm slipping away I'm trying hard to understand

Guess it's just another dream That's slipping away Each time I fall asleep It seems I'm just drifting away Just as you have touched my heart Babe I wake and we're apart Yeah and it's slipping away Here comes just another day That's drifting away Every time I draw a breath It's dying away First the sun and then the moon One of them will be around soon Slipping away Slipping away Drifting away Slipping away Just as you have touched my heart I wake up babe and we're apart It seems we're slipping away Slipping away Slipping away All I want is ecstasy But I ain't getting much Just getting off on misery It seems I've lost my touch Well it's just another song But it's slipping away Well we didn't sing it long 'Cos it's fading away First the sun and then the moon One of them will be round soon Slipping away Slipping away Slipping away

I'm slippin' away In every way I can't stay awake (Understand) I'm slippin' away (And I don't know why?) But tryin' to make it through each day I'm fallin' apart now in every way I'm findin' it harder to get by There's a hole in my heart And I don't know why? Now I've come to realize I'm slippin' away

God walks home through the local park Meets the devil with a broken heart He says "I've been let down by the armies of darkness Oh my whole life's a mess" And God says "I've got the cure I'm holding on to something pure I've got the cure for you All you gotta do is dance Pick your feet up All you gotta do is dance Feel the beat love All you've gotta do is dance Dance with me" Now the devil thanks God and he's on his way Skip in his stride What a beautiful day And along comes a cracker with a gun in his hand Beelzebub knows he's got to save this man And the devil says "I've got the cure I'm holding on to something pure I've got the cure for you All you gotta do is dance Pick your feet up All you gotta do is dance Feel the beat love All you've gotta do is dance Dance with me All you gotta do is dance Pick your feet up All you gotta do is dance Feel the beat love All you've gotta do is dance Dance with me" The trees became a multitude of angels Singing out like a gospel choir And the benches in the park rose up to become their chariots of Fire Oh fire Fire Yeah They rose up They rose up To become their chariots of fire And God says "All you gotta do is dance Pick your feet up All you gotta do is dance Feel the beat love All you've gotta do is dance Dance with me All you gotta do is dance Pick your feet up All you gotta do is dance Feel the beat love All you've gotta do is dance Dance with me All you gotta do is dance Pick your feet up All you gotta do is dance Feel the beat love All you've gotta do is dance Dance with me"

I walk the wire every night I can't decide between wrong and right I've lost control over the things I do 'Cause I'm hopelessly falling in love with you Now the one who never took a chance Becomes a victim of circumstance I've lost my way, now I'm so confused 'Cause I'm hopelessly falling in love with you All my dreams are far behind me They don't matter anymore I don't care about the things I could lose 'Cause I'm hopelessly falling in love with you Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh Now the one who always played it safe Becomes another who's lost his way I can't believe it, though I know it's true 'Cause I'm hopelessly falling in love with you And all my dreams begin to blind me And I was so confused And I don't care about the things I could lose 'Cause I'm hopelessly falling in love with you I'm not gonna fight it, I'm gonna choose To hopelessly fall, ooh, yeah You know I'll hopelessly fall in love, with you

I toss and turn I'm turning around But I cannot sleep I'm hypnotized I'm paralyzed By a different beat I hear your voice Getting louder now Yet so out of reach But I'm mistaking It's only the echo of you And I'm not sleeping Now that you're gone I can't help feeling I did you wrong And now this feeling It's been so long And the night goes on and on A crowded bar The mating game So I'm out of place It's so bizarre She's coming up to me But I see your face The DJ plays familiar songs And it takes me back But I'm mistaking it's only the echo of you And I'm not sleeping Now that you're gone I can't help feeling I did you wrong And now this feeling It's been so long And the night goes on and on I hear your voice I hear your voice calling I hear your voice, on and on I toss and turn I'm turning around But I just can't sleep I'm hypnotized I'm paralyzed And I'm not sleeping Now that you're gone I can't help feeling I did you wrong And now this feeling It's been so long And the night goes on and on
