Slip Away

Oogie waits for just another dayDrags his bones to see the Yankees playBones Boy talks and flickers grayOh, they slip awayOnce a time they nearly might have beenBones and Oogie on a silver screenNo one knew what they could doExcept for me and youThey slip awayThey slip awayCHORUSDon't forget to keep your head warmTwinkle twinkle Uncle FloydWatching all the world and war tornHow I wonder where you areSailing over Coney IslandTwinkle twinkle Uncle FloydWe were dumb but you were fun, boyHow I wonder where you areOogie knew there's never ever timeSome of us will always stay behindDown in space it's always 1982The joke we always knewWhat's-a matter with youC'mon, let's goSlip away
