David Bowie - Slip Away lyrics

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
