Lyrics
If we both have nothing
Then we have nothing to lose
Well that reminded me
I'm painting with the blues
Are you so surprised to see
That I will have to choose
Between life and walking with
The dead paying their dues
Glory days keep slipping away
While I keep slipping on this floor
It's been a couple years of more that
Glory days keep slipping away
While I keep slipping on my own
Well silly me, I should have known
What am I to do
Did you catch yourself squeezing
The water from a stone
Well I'm sad to say there's nothing there
There's no one home
If talk is cheap then let's talk in binary code
All these ones and zeros
They are no good for the soul
Glory days keep slipping away
While I keep slipping on this floor
It's been a couple years of more that
Glory days keep slipping away
While I keep slipping on my own
Well silly me, I should have known
What am I to do
If we both have nothing
Then we have nothing to lose
Well that reminded me
To sit around and booze
Are you so surprised to see
That I will have to choose
Between life and walking with
The dead singing their blues
Glory days keep slipping away
While I keep slipping on this floor
It's been a couple years of more that
Glory days keep slipping away
While I keep slipping on my own
Well, silly me, I should've known
What am I to do
Glory days keep slipping away
