The Slip Songtext
von The Smile

A black hole at the centre of the galaxy
Being pulled, being pulled, being pulled down
Nice and easy
As a nought, 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 sing
And 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, hmm

You′re gonna give us the slip tonight
Out through the keyhole
'Cause 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
