Slipping Away

(album: Dirty Looks - 1983)

Slipping away
Back into the wild again
I can feel the restlessness
There's something here that can't be tamed

I can feel it burning
And I don't wanna feed the flame
I'd rather see you running free from me
Back down on the street again

Driven, I can feel the spirit
I can feel the motion
Down on the street, yeah
Dreaming, I can see you dreaming
Baby, baby, don't you worry about me
Maybe you were meant to be
Slipping away

Slipping away
Taxi, do you know the way?
He's looking guilty in the rear-view mirror
Oh, driver, get him out of here

Before he wants to turn around
Back into my arms again
Torn between the need of his security
And the yearning to be free

Driven, I can feel the spirit
I can feel the motion
Down on the street, yeah, yeah, yeah
Dreaming, I can see you dreaming
Baby, baby, don't you worry about me
Maybe you were meant to be
Slipping away

Baby, baby, don't you worry about me
Maybe you were meant to be
Slipping away
Slipping away

Oh, you're slipping away, away
Slipping away
Oh, you're slipping away, away

Oh, you're slipping away, away
Slip, slipping away
Oh, you're slipping away, away
