THE SLIP
A black hole at the center of the galaxy
Being pulled, being pulled, being pulled down
Now I sit easy
As annoyed, as I knew, as I know
One more step ‘till finally you just freeze
You’re going to give us the slip tonight
Eye through the keyhole
Open like you’re the hole in the ozone
You’re going to give us the slip tonight
Blasted partitions, blackbird says nothing
You’re going to lie, you’re going to say
You’re going to 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 ‘till finally you just freeze
