Slip Away
David Bowie Song Lyrics

Artist: David Bowie
Album: Heathen (2002)

Oogie waits for just another day
Drags his bones
To see the yankees play
Bones boy talks and flickers gray
Oh, they slip away.

Once a time
They nearly might have been
Bones and oogie on a silver screen
No one knew what they could do
Except for me and you
They slip away
They slip away.

Don't forget
To keep your head warm
Twinkle twinkle uncle floyd
Watching all the world
And war torn
How I wonder where you are
Oo-o...
Sailing over
Coney island
Twinkle twinkle uncle floyd
We were dumb
But you were fun, boy
How I wonder where you are
Oo-o...

Oogie knew there's never ever time
Some of us will always stay behind
Down in space it's always 1982
The joke we always knew
Oo-oo...
What'sa matter with you
C'mon, let's go
Slip away
Oo-o...

Don't forget
To keep your head warm
Twinkle twinkle uncle floyd
Watching all the world
And war torn
How I wonder where you are
Oo-o...
Sailing over
Coney island
Twinkle twinkle uncle floyd
We were dumb
But you were fun, boy
How I wonder where you are
Oo-o...
Sailing.
