Slipstream Songtext
von Silkworm

Well I see the signs
Read in between the lines, yeah
You′re lookin' down on me
Pretty pink champagne dresses
Cracklin′ like watercress on you
Well, you walk right by me
Yeah, you walk right past and
Can't you look me in the eyes?
Well, I look at you but it never lasts and
You're pretty as can be
Rose-tied, black corduroy pants
With bangles and baubles and bangles and beads, well I...
Now baby, don′t you want or need a man like me?
Well, ask you why
Hey honey, take a look and tell me what you see
Well, well, don′t you think you could do a little bit
Better than being some kind of Sylvia Plath wannabe, yeah?
You've been so uptight, I noticed you′re high as a kite, but...
I think I know why you get
So caught up in that slipstream


You've been livin′ your life
Like a silly little daydream
You're caught in that slipstream
And you′re never gonna get out of there alive
Your life is such a drag, oh
You got a military dad and that nag nag nag nag
Come on, you've been gettin' up and gettin′ by, gettin′ high
You get so pissed and you don't know why
You′ve been doin' your time at Hell Gate High, well
Oh, you know that′s home of Steve Albini
You'd better learn to take it easy
Well, oh, you know they used to call him Albini the Weenie
You should learn to loosen up and be free
Well, well, you sure got a great couple of legs
Wastin′ away on all that German philosophy, yeah
You gotta use 'em or you'll lose ′em
Gotta move ′em or you'll lose ′em but...
I think I know why you get
So caught up in that slipstream
You've been livin′ your life
Like a silly little daydream
You're caught in that slipstream
And you′re never gonna get out of there alive
You're caught in that slipstream, yeah
Your life is just a silly little daydream
You're caught in that slipstream, ah
You′re never gonna get out of there alive
No, I don′t think so
Why? I don't think so
