Rose Tattoo - Slipping Away lyrics

Aching, breaking, shiver shaking Desperate to survive Tortured, tearing, backward sliding More dead than alive There comes a time when you're so blind To those who hold your dear Their love is strong you're so far gone You don't see their tears You're going down Lifetime learning, question burning Does anybody know? Heartache yearning, my soul preparing 'Til it's time to go You look at me you never see The pain I'm going through Nightmare dreams are silent screams As I reach out to you I'm going down When did it happen? When did you feel me slipping away Teenage queens in magazines say it's all right to sleaze Dull vacant eyes and shapeless thigts, you gotta thin to please Poppin those pills, drinking your fill won't bring you happy hour Then you're alone and no one's home When all that sh** turns sour When did it happen? When did you feel me slipping away I'm slippin' away Darkness is my only friend I shut the light of day When did it happen? When did you feel me slipping away I'm slippin' away
