Slipping Sideways

(It's another tequila sunrise...)

[Verse 1]
You say you'll never understand
Old friends are gettin' in your hair
Why don't they leave you to the silver life you planned?
How can they love what you don't let me share?

[Verse 2]
You met the woman of your life (for the tenth time)
It's such a shame she's still his wife
A minor setback, just another cross to bear (for the nth time)
On a road that's filled with crosses everywhere

[Chorus]
You sure look happy, it brеaks my heart
Because you think that you'll makе it, another brand new start
Just slipping sideways into the dirt
But it's gonna be hard, when there's no one left to hurt

[Verse 3]
Your friends all gave you space and time
(You know they gave you space and time)
The self-respect and change of mind
Oh, since you cried, I've got to start anew
Then you carried on, just like you always do

[Outro]
But you sure look happy, it breaks my heart
Because you think that you'll make it, another brand new start
Just slipping sideways into the dirt
But it's gonna be hard, when there's no one left to hurt
Oh, you're slipping sideways into the dirt
But it's gonna be hard, babe, there's no one left to hurt
But you sure look happy, it breaks my heart
Because you think that you'll make it, another brand new start
Just slipping sideways...
