Slips Away lyrics

I don't think i was ready For so much disappointment But every time i'd leave the house It seems someone would get in I watch films I read books I hear music And it's all so life affirming Every day i say "i'm gonna live now" Every day it just slips away A piece of plastic A few bits of paper 93 minutes in a darkened room The emotions i get from this They are deeper From real life There's a house with a door And behind it a man on the floor And behind him there's A woman who just couldn't take any more From this man and his dinner And a sinner from pinner So why should she stay? But every time real life starts breaking in Oh every day it just slips away It slips away The colours seem brighter Life seems rich I only cry in the cinema And when i come out i'm exhausted All my energies in life Are taken up by things That aren't really real Well every day you leave it It will just get harder And harder and harder to change La la lala la lala la I watch films I read books I hear music And it's all so life affirming Every day i say "i'm gonna live now" Every day it just slips away Slips away Slips away Slips away Slips away Slips away
