All the world knows
|
yet none too well
|
to shun the heaven
|
that lead men to this hell
|
|
If all the stars
|
disappear and die
|
and I'm looking at an empty sky
|
oh I'll be damned
|
back behind the sun
|
this kind of love
|
can't be bought or won girl
|
|
And when every second counts
|
when the minutes
|
turn a night into a day
|
because the closer you get
|
the further you slip away
|
because the closer you get
|
the further you slip away
|
|
when the summer rain came
|
well it kissed our feet
|
and a magic moon lay down on our street
|
love and death
|
it's like war and peace
|
one single outreach
|
on this empty beach
|
cos you're damned if you do
|
and you're damned if you don't
|
want her to stay away hey
|
because the closer you get
|
the further you slip away
|
cos the closer you get
|
the further love slipped away,
|
slipped away
|
ooh
|
na na na na na na,
|
na na na na na na
|
slipping away,
|
slipping away
|
|
These plastic bags and
|
these crushed up cans
|
this twisted wreck
|
on some foreign land
|
better hold close
|
what you hold so dear
|
cos the vanishing point
|
is coming oh so near
|
All this world knows
|
yet none too well
|
to shun the heaven
|
that lead men to this hell
|
he closer you get
|
the further you slip away
|
cos the closer you get
|
the further love slipped away,
|
slipped away
|
he closer you get
|
the further you slip away
|
cos the closer you get
|
the further love slipped away,
|
slipped away
|
