All the world knows Yet none know well To shun the heaven That lead men to this hell If all the stars Disappear and die And I am looking at an empty sky Oh I'll be damned Back behind the sun This kind of love Can't be bought or won. And when every second counts When the minutes turn a night into a day Because the closer you get The further you slip away Because the closer you get The further love slip on away When the summer rain came Well it kissed our feet And a magic moon lay down on our street Oh love and death It's like war and peace One single outreach On this empty beach Cos you're damned if you do And you're damned if you don't Want her to stay oh hey, hey Because the closer you get The further you slip away Cos the closer you get The further love slip on away, Slipped away Ooh na na na na na na, na na na na na na Slipping away, slipping away These plastic bags and these crushed up cans This twisted wreck on some foreign land Better hold close what you hold so dear Cos the vanishing point is coming oh so near All this world knows Yet none know well To shun this heaven That lead men to this hell The closer you get The further you slip away I said now, the closer you get The further love slips away, slips away, slips away The closer you get, the further you slip on away Cos the closer you get, the further love slips onaway, Slipping away
