lyrics

Over in the corner there’s this boring little play
a pair pretending they are there defending honor
something’s bumped from his finger tips, the jukebox starts to sing

An old man at the bar tells himself, “I don’t hear a thing”
but as the tune picks up its horns, he pictures her and sings along
and though he doesn’t know it now, he’s unable to stop

Don't let it slip away

Pleased with his selection the bar-man settles in
He sees a young thing crawling for some rolling gold that’s flattening
A drunkard turns with his left hook tight, he slurs his words and he bares his right
coincidence is in full effect here, the jukebox starts to disconnect till
The old man becomes the soundtrack and to his tune the scene turns black

Don't let it slip away
