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

It's your last chance to find yourself in consequence It's so hard to find a simple reason Maybe I'll find myself with evidence Hate breeds with nothing to believe in Another day, another day in paradise If you only knew wouldn't it be nice Get away get away get away I'm about to detonate Everything to prove Nothing to lose Just when everything has fallen to the ground Gonna knock it down Just believe me when I tell you it's alright This time we're on our way to tragedy Forever bored and outside from the in crowd I've come to grip confronting my reality Numb-struck it's me against the world now For all you know, for all you know it's not for real Spare me the obsession that you deal Get away get away get away I'm about to detonate Everything to prove Nothing to lose Just when everything has fallen to the ground Gonna knock it down Just believe me when I tell you it's alright Everything to prove Nothing to lose Just when everything has fallen to the ground Gonna knock it down Just believe me when I tell you it's alright I should've know right from the start That you'd take this trust and rip me apart Could it be a change of heart? I'll fall into you, but don't believe that this is real I'll fall into you, but don't believe that this is real I'll fall into you, but don't believe that this is real I'll fall into you, but don't believe that this is real
