Lyrics Slip Away - David Bowie

Slip Away

Oogie waits for just another day
Drags his bones
To see the yankees play
Bones boy talks and flickers gray
Oh, they slip away
Once a time
They nearly might have been
Bones and oogie on a silver screen
No one knew what they could do Except for me and you
They slip away
They slip away
Dont forget
To keep your head warm
Twinkle twinkle uncle floyd
Watching all the world
And war torn
How I wonder where you are
Oo-o
Sailing over
Coney island
Twinkle twinkle uncle floyd
We were dumb
But you were fun, boy
How I wonder where you are
Oo-o
Oogie knew theres never ever time
Some of us will always stay behind
Down in space its always 1982
The joke we always knew
Oo-oo
Whatsa matter with you
Cmon, lets go Slip away
Oo-o
Dont forget
To keep your head warm
Twinkle twinkle uncle floyd
Watching all the world
And war torn
How I wonder where you are
Oo-o
Sailing over
Coney island
Twinkle twinkle uncle floyd
We were dumb
But you were fun, boy
How I wonder where you are
Oo-o
Sailing
