Slipping Under Songtext
von Beranger

Heart beats in a cage, in this life, oh I′ll oppose
My thoughts to a melody on your mind
Notes fall in a rage, in reverse, though I'll impose
Deaf beats to a symphony left behind

So come now listen to the beat
Let′s talk while the children are asleep
And the things we'll take and the things we'll break
And the house and the debts over our heads

And I′m slipping under
Yes I′m slipping under yeah

At last, the strings the past
The things I tried and the blackened mass
Bend down to form a letter
I'll write, the ink, the rasp, the maniac sleeps in the empty grasp
A song to kill the lover


So come now listen to the beat
Let′s talk while the children are asleep
And the things we'll take and the things we′ll break
And the house and the debts over our heads

And I'm slipping under
Yes I′m slipping under yeah

You say that life is just science
But your wits can't explain
Why we can feel, through waves of silence
And still not be insane

So come now listen to the beat
Let's talk while the children are asleep
And the things we′ll take and the things we′ll break
And the house and the debts over our heads ooh

And I'm slipping under
Yes I′m slipping under yeah

And I'm slipping under

And I′m slipping under
