Song information

Lyrics

All the world knows
Yet none too well
To shun the heaven
That lead men to this hell

If all the stars
Disappear and die
And I'm looking at an empty sky
Oh I'll be damned
Back behind the sun
This kind of love
Can't be bought or won girl

And when every second counts
When the minutes
Turn a night into a day
Because the closer you get
The further you slip away
Because the closer you get
The further you slip away

When the summer rain came
Well it kissed our feet
And a magic moon lay down on our street
Love and death
It's like war and peace
One single outreach
On this empty beach
Cos you're damned if you do
And you're damned if you don't
Want her to stay away hey
Because the closer you get
The further you slip away
Cos the closer you get
The further love slipped away
Slipped away
Ooh
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Slipping away
Slipping away

These plastic bags and
These crushed up cans
This twisted wreck
On some foreign land
Better hold close
What you hold so dear
Cos the vanishing point
Is coming oh so near
All this world knows
Yet none too well
To shun the heaven
That lead men to this hell
He closer you get
The further you slip away
Cos the closer you get
The further love slipped away
Slipped away
He closer you get
The further you slip away
Cos the closer you get
The further love slipped away
Slipped away
