One Slip

Pink Floyd

1. A restless eye across a weary room   
   A glazed look and I was on the road to ruin  
   The music played and played as we whirled without end  
   No hint, no word her honour to defend   
   
2. I will, I will she sighed to my request   
   And then she tossed her mane while my resolve was put to the test
   Then drowned in desire, our souls on fire,
   I lead the way to the funeral pyre 
   And without a thought of the consequence,
   I gave into my decadence   
   
R: One slip, and down the hole we fall  
   It seems to take no time at all
   A momentary lapse of reason, that binds a life for life 
   A small regret, you won't forget,
   there'll be no sleep in here tonight.  
   
   
3. Was it love, or was it the idea of being in love?
   Or was it the hand of fate,
   The moment slipped by and soon the seeds were sown
   The year grew late and neither one wanted to remain alone
   
R: One slip, and down the hole we fall.
   It seems to take no time at all
   A momentary lapse of reason, that binds life to a life
   The one regret you will never forget,
   there'll be no sleep in here tonight
