Lyrics
sliding
should of seen the way he was dressed
had this cool blue suit on
was easy to see he was out to impress
sure looked good on him
that?s what the lady said
while fingering the hem of her sequined dress
she had the kind of look that?s hard to forget
and she?s sliding
someone?s smoking a french cigarette
and my beer?s gone warm
went out for awhile just to stretch my legs
got caught in a storm
somebody?s fallen asleep on my bed
I?d introduce her but we ain?t met
she has the kind of look that?s hard to forget
and she?s sliding ? sliding
sliding, slipping and sliding
sliding, slipping and sliding
it?s nothing to do with the red eyed moon
when it?s 2.45 in a downtown saloon
and the desperate people have all gone home
and the drunk in the corner won't answer his phone
and nobody's paid but nothing is free
and some guy is laughing emptily
while his woman cries
I like the smell just after the rain
when the sun comes out
it?s kind of clean and shiny
and sparkling new
all over town
cars goes slipping by on the road
tossing up tails of silver and gold
I?m not so young and I?m not so old
I?m just sliding ? sliding
sliding, slipping and sliding
sliding, slipping and sliding
the sheets are clean but the carpet's old
the sun is weak and the room is cold
the bible remains but the phone book's gone
the tv plays but there's nothing on
and there's nobody here to roll with me
and somebody's screaming angrily
while a baby cries
