Slips Away

I don't think i was ready
For so much disappointment
But every time i'd leave the house
It seems someone would get in
I watch films
I read books
I hear music
And it's all so life affirming
Every day i say
"i'm gonna live now"
Every day it just slips away
A piece of plastic
A few bits of paper
93 minutes in a darkened room
The emotions i get from this
They are deeper
From real life
There's a house with a door
And behind it a man on the floor
And behind him there's
A woman who just couldn't take any more
From this man and his dinner
And a sinner from pinner
So why should she stay?
But every time real life starts breaking in
Oh every day it just slips away
It slips away
The colours seem brighter
Life seems rich
I only cry in the cinema
And when i come out i'm exhausted
All my energies in life
Are taken up by things
That aren't really real
Well every day you leave it
It will just get harder
And harder and harder to change
La la lala la lala la
I watch films
I read books
I hear music
And it's all so life affirming
Every day i say
"i'm gonna live now"
Every day it just slips away
Slips away
Slips away
Slips away
Slips away
Slips away
