The Slip

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 One more step 'til finally you just freeze You're gonna give us the slip tonight Out through the keyhole Open like you're the hole in the ozone You're gonna give us the slip tonight Plaster partitions, blackbird says nothing You're gonna laugh, you're gonna sing You're gonna 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 'til finally you just freeze Staring into infinity As if, as if you cannot see You're gonna give us the slip tonight Out through the keyhole 'Cause you want shit for free I don't know it was just, just a question (We are so in trouble) Somehow it's, it's not like you imagined (We are so in trouble)
