David Torn - Slip Away lyrics

[Verse 1] 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[x2] [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] [Outro] Sailing
