Slipping Away

UFO

All the world knows 
yet none too well 
to shun the heaven
that lead men to this hell
If all the stars 
disappear and die
and I'm looking at an empty sky
oh I'll be damned 
back behind the sun
this kind of love 
can't be bought or won girl
And when every second counts
when the minutes 
turn a night into a day
because the closer you get
the further you slip away
because the closer you get
the further you slip away
when the summer rain came
well it kissed our feet
and a magic moon lay down on our street
love and death 
it's like war and peace
one single outreach 
on this empty beach
cos you're damned if you do 
and you're damned if you don't 
want her to stay away hey
because the closer you get
the further you slip away
cos the closer you get
the further love slipped away,
slipped away
ooh
na na na na na na,
na na na na na na
slipping away,
slipping away
These plastic bags and 
these crushed up cans
this twisted wreck 
on some foreign land
better hold close 
what you hold so dear
cos the vanishing point 
is coming oh so near
All this world knows 
yet none too well 
to shun the heaven
that lead men to this hell
he closer you get
the further you slip away
cos the closer you get
the further love slipped away,
slipped away
he closer you get
the further you slip away
cos the closer you get
the further love slipped away,
slipped away
