Slippery Songtext
von Human Heat

To be around the world
More than you are home
To have too many friends
Call even one up on the phone
To be far away
There′s nothing you can do
It's for another day
It′s for another you, uh

To see all the best
But never know what's good
To be sure of what you can do
But never know what you should
I know I missed our call
I watched it ring and go unanswered
It's nothing personal
I must be on some great adventure


Slippery, I am now, but there′s not much
Glamour and mystery, there′s just a touch
It's mostly too vaque to try to hold
Try to hold onto
Slippery, I am now, so back and forth
Not asking anything, but wanting more
I′m begging "Can you please just try to hold, try to hold onto?"

To look back and see
What you have to show
The days you spent
Living out on the road
It leave a mark
But not something deep that lasts
The flaming star, it soars
But it is burning out quite fast

Slippery, I am now, but there's not much
Glamour and mystery, there′s just a touch
It's mostly too vaque to try to hold
Try to hold onto
Slippery, I am now, so back and forth
Not asking anything, but wanting more
I′m begging "Can you please just try to hold, try to hold onto?"


And I swear this time
I will stay around
What can I do to prove it?
I'm standing on solid ground
I'll build a house so tall
But on one will dare question
If it will ever fall
′Cause my foundation′s been test
