The Slip Lyrics
[Verse 1]
A black hole at the center of the galaxy
Being pulled, being pulled, being pulled down
Nice and easy
As a naught, as a nil, as a no

[Refrain]
One more step ’til finally you just freeze

[Chorus]
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 sin
You’re going to bring the world down ’round your ears
While the temperature grows ugly

[Verse 2]
While you threaten to press the button
Let’s pretend, let’s pretend, let’s pretend

[Refrain]
One more step ’til finally you just freeze
See upcoming rock shows
Get tickets for your favorite artists

[Pre-Chorus]
Stared into infinity
As if, as if you cannot see

[Chorus]
You’re going to give us the slip tonight
Eye through the keyhole
‘Cause you want shit for free

[Verse 3]
I don’t know, it was just, just a question
We are so in trouble
Somehow it’s, it’s not like you imagine
We are so in trouble

[Refrain]
One more step ’til finally you just freeze
