Slip Away (Sacd mix) (2025 remaster) Lyrics

Oogie waits for just another day
Drags his bones to see the Yankees play
Bones Boy talks and flickers gray
Oh, they slip away

Once a time, they nearly might have been
Bones and Oogie on a silver screen
No one knew what they could do, except for me and you
They slip away
They slip away

Don′t forget to keep your head warm
Twinkle, twinkle, Uncle Floyd
Watching all the world and war-torn
How I wonder where you are, oh

Sailing over Coney Island
Twinkle, twinkle, Uncle Floyd
We were dumb, but you were fun, boy
How I wonder where you are, oh

Oogie knew there's never ever time
Some of us will always stay behind
Down in space, it′s always 1982
The joke we always knew
Oh, what'sa matter with you
Come on, let's go, slip away

Oh, don′t forget to keep your head warm
Twinkle, twinkle, Uncle Floyd
Watching all the world and war-torn
How I wonder where you are, oh

Sailing over Coney Island
Twinkle, twinkle, Uncle Floyd
We were dumb, but you were fun, boy
How I wonder where you are, oh
