I once had
everything my heart desired, I was always looking
forward...
I once knew
everything there was to know, I was the only
one who thought so...
I once was
everything a man should be: Tall, red, rich and
handsome...
I had morality,
Mr personality
Give my guidance
to anyone who'd take it
Love
of the year, captain of my class
Crew member of the month
I'd hit the headlines
Heads I'd win; Tails, I'd
lose
Guess what? Tails won.
It´s all slipping away
It´s all slipping away
It´s all slipping away
slipping away
I once loved
everything in everyone, I grew up quick when
things went wrong...
I once dreamt
live was a bed of roses, ´till I lay down
in a bed of thorns...
I once thought
the world would bow down at my feet. I
would just sit back and let things happen...
Then I woke
up in a blinding flash
of light
And out of nowhere I saw
this faint figure
Quite clearly pointing it's
finger
And then I heard a voice
say "My son,
This
world is for the taking but only if
you want it bad enough."
I said. "My god, I
have tried!"
It´s all slipping away
It´s all slipping away
It´s all slipping away
slipping away
I had promise, ate with
a silver spoon, fed from a silver plate
I had dedication,
I had respect,
I was God's
gift to mankind!
I had a head full of dreams,
I believed
in things!
Now
I've got a pocket full of
nothing, and I keep
on losing it!
It´s all slipping away
It´s all slipping away
It´s all slipping away
slipping away
