Sleeping Away Songtext

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 (Keyboard Solo) 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 You're letting it slip away, my friend Yes, you're letting it slip away Yes, you're letting it slip away, my friend Yes, you're letting it slip away (Ooh) yes, you're letting it slip away, my friend Yes, you're letting it slip away (Ooh) yes, you're letting it slip away, my friend Yes, you're letting it slip away
