I can tell that you're wild
In how you lure their aching smiles
And I know I'm on the list to be kissed

When you're giving out my name
As the one you want to blame
You'll be on the brink of tears, that's right
Could I talk you out of staying here tonight?

Well, I see that you're cute
In your Fiorucci suit
In your eyes, I see the shadow that you hide

I could be a little sweet
That would come off very neat
You'll be on the brink of tears, that's right
Could I talk you out of staying here tonight?

I've been waiting all this time
Something's gotta change now
(Something's gotta change now)
I get the same erratic line

Slip, slip away now
Slip, slip away now
Slip, slip, slip, slip
Slip, slip away now

Well, I see that you're fast
And your part will never cast
And I know I'm on the list to be missed

It's a sentimental streak
That allows you to be meek
When you're on the brink of tears, that's right
Can I talk you out of staying here tonight?

I've been waiting all this time
Something's gotta change now
(Something's gotta change now)
I get the same erratic line

Slip, slip away now
Slip, slip away now
Slip, slip, slip, slip
Slip, slip away now

Slip, slip away now
Slip, slip away now
Slip away now
Slip away

Slip, slip away now
Slip, slip away now
Slip, slip away now
You gotta slip away
Something's gotta change now

Slip, slip away now
Slip, slip away now
Slip
That's right
