Lyrics to The Slip
A black hole at the center of the galaxy
Being pulled, being pulled, being pulled down
Nice and easy
As a naught, as a nil, as a no
One more step 'til finally you just freeze
You're gonna give us the slip tonight
Out through the keyhole
Open like you're the hole in the ozone
You're gonna give us the slip tonight
Plaster partitions, blackbird says nothing
You're gonna laugh, you're gonna sin
You're gonna bring the world down 'round your ears
While the temperature grows ugly
While you threaten to press the button
Let's pretend, let's pretend, let's pretend
One more step 'til finally you just freeze
Staring into infinity
As if, as if you cannot see
You're gonna give us the slip tonight
Out through the keyhole
Cuz you want shit for free
I don't know, it was just, just a question
We are so in trouble
Somehow it's, it's not like you imagined
We are so in trouble
One more step 'til finally you just freeze
Being pulled, being pulled, being pulled down
Nice and easy
As a naught, as a nil, as a no
One more step 'til finally you just freeze
You're gonna give us the slip tonight
Out through the keyhole
Open like you're the hole in the ozone
You're gonna give us the slip tonight
Plaster partitions, blackbird says nothing
You're gonna laugh, you're gonna sin
You're gonna bring the world down 'round your ears
While the temperature grows ugly
While you threaten to press the button
Let's pretend, let's pretend, let's pretend
One more step 'til finally you just freeze
Staring into infinity
As if, as if you cannot see
You're gonna give us the slip tonight
Out through the keyhole
Cuz you want shit for free
I don't know, it was just, just a question
We are so in trouble
Somehow it's, it's not like you imagined
We are so in trouble
One more step 'til finally you just freeze
