Pink Floyd - One Slip lyrics

A restless eye across a weary room
A glazed look, and I was on the road to ruin
The music played and played as
We whirled without end
No hint, no word her honour to defend
"I will, I will" she sighed to my request
And then she tossed her mane while my
Resolve was put to the test
Then drowned in desire, our souls on fire
I led the way to the funeral pyre
And without a thought of the consequence
I gave in to my decadence

One slip, and down the hole we fall
It seems to take no time at all
A momentary lapse of reason
That binds a life for life
A small regret, you won’t forget
There’ll be no sleep in here tonight

Was it love or was it the
Idea of being in love?
Or was it the hand of fate
That seemed to fit just like a glove?
The moment slipped by and soon
The seeds were sown
The year grew late and neither
One wanted to remain alone

One slip, and down the hole we fall
It seems to take no time at all
A momentary lapse of reason
That binds a life to a life
One regret, you will never forget
There’ll be no sleep in here tonight

One slip… one slip
