The Slide Lyrics

The Slide lyrics

When you're too old for the swings
You tend to choose the slide
And they
never seem to warn you
The slide's your final ride
And when you're at the
top of it
And you cannot see the end
Either don't let go son - Or grab the
nearest friend
The slide is no respecter of dignitiy or class
As soon as
you sit down on it
The slide has got your ass
Don't take the slide, don't
take the slide
Heroes and villains have tried and cried
A pile of broken
souls at the bottom it denied
Don't take the slide, don't take the
slide
When the slide was invented
A thousand drinkers sighed
They
thought they had the copyright
Of the very word the slide
It's a picture
of innocence
On which the innocent have fried
Take the helter skelter
son
It's easier than the slide
Advice to listening parents
Or the
father of the bride
Let them marry anyone
But don't let her take the
slide
Don't take the slide, don't take the slide
Heroes and villains have
tried and cried
A pile of broken souls at the bottom it denied
Don't take
the slide, don't take the slide
It'll take much much lower
Than you ever
would have asked
'Cause as soon as you sit down on it
The slide has got
your ass - It's customers are fools
And every one of them deceased
The
long and silver murderer
The Devil must have greased
Don't take the
slide, don't take the slide
Heroes and villains have tried and cried
A
pile of broken souls at the bottom it denied
Don't take the slide, don't
take the slide
