Magnum - Slipping Away - Текст песни

If the people could only see you
 It would become as a big surprise
 That a person they watch on tv
 Worries and laughs and cries 

When they finally get to know you
 They'll be looking at someone else
 And no matter what you keep saying
 They'll put you upon the shelf 

There are plenty of things for you to do
 But you're letting it slip away
 Yes, you're letting it slip away my friend
 'Cause you're thinking about today 

When you're moving up rather slowly
 And putting yourself around
 Just remember that on the way up
 It's easier to come down 

'Cause when your money seems almost endless
 Well, I know it's been said before
 But you know it won't last a lifetime
 Maybe you'll need some more 

There are plenty of things for you to do
 But you're letting it slip away
 Yes, you're letting it slip away my friend
 'Cause you're thinking about today 

If the people could only see you
 It would become as a big surprise
 That a person they watch on tv
 Worries and laughs and cries 

There are plenty of things for you to do
 But you're letting it slip away
 Yes, you're letting it slip away my friend
 'Cause you're thinking about today
