Floyd Pink One Slip Lyrics

One Slip Lyrics

A RESTLESS EYE ACROSS A WEARY ROOM

A GLAZED LOOK AND I WAS ON THE ROAD TO RUIN

THE MUSIC PLAYED AND PLAYED

AS WE WHIRLED WITHOUT END

NO HINT, NO WORD HER HONOUR TO DEFEND



I WILL, I WILL SHE SIGHED TO MY REQUEST

AND THEN SHE TOSSED HER NAME

WHILE MY RESOLVE WAS PUT TO THE TEST

THEN DROWNED IN DESIRE, OUR SOULS ON FIRE

I LED THE WAY TO THE FUNERAL PYRE

AND WITHOUT A THOUGHT OF THE CONSEQUENCE

I GAVE IN TO MY DECADENCE



ONE SLIP, AND DOWN THE HOLE WE FALL

IT SEEMS TO TAKE NO TIME AT ALL

A MOMENTARY LAPSE OF REASON

THAT BINDS A LIFE FOR LIFE

A SMALL REGRET, YOU WON´T FORGET

THERE´LL BE NO SLEEP IN HERE TONIGHT



WAS IT LOVE, OR WAS IT THE IDEA OF BEING IN LOVE?

OR WAS IT THE HAND OF FATE

THAT SEEMED TO FIT JUST LIKE A GLOVE?



THE MOMENT SLIPPED BY AND SOON THE SEEDS WERE SOWN

THE YEAR GREW LATE AND NEITHER ONE WANTED

TO REMAIN ALONE



ONE SLIP AND DOWN THE HOLE WE FALL

IT SEEMS TO TAKE NO TIME AT ALL

A MOMENTARY LAPSE OF REASON

THAT BINDS A LIFE FOR LIFE

A SMALL REGRET, YOU WON´T FORGET

THERE´LL BE NO SLEEP IN HERE TONIGHT
