Sound Of Life Slipping Away

I woke up to a singing crowd
they were stationed outside of my door
They were lead by a big hell hound
a redheaded robin thirsty for more

I heard your crap talk left me dazed and confused
hey! this wasn't what I signed up for
I freeze up stop dead in the tracks
I'm on a mission with the dirty Leonore

See me crawl, seafloor brawl
dirty water will be killing you all
payslip gore, what's in store
a shit ship full packed with manure

But I can't be so right, all the time
and I must compete hard down the line
if you sit real still listen for a while
it turns into grey
it's the Sound of Life Slipping Away

I ran naked through the streets of rage
I was obnoxious like never before
They all fled and I was homeward bound
I came right out of a left hand store

But I can't be so right, all the time
and I must compete hard down the line
if you sit real still listen for a while
it turns into grey
it's the Sound of Life Slipping Away

See me crawl, seafloor brawl
dirty water will be killing you all
payslip gore, what's in store
a shit ship full packed with manure

But I can't be so right, all the time
and I must compete hard down the line
if you sit real still listen for a while
it turns into grey
it's the Sound of Life Slipping Away
