Текст песни Slipping Away - Magnum

If the people could only see you
It would become as a big surprise
That a person they watch on tv
Worries and laughs and cries
When they finally get to know you
They'll be looking at someone else
And no matter what you keep saying
They'll put you upon the shelf
There are plenty of things for you to do
But you're letting it slip away
Yes, you're letting it slip away my friend
'Cause you're thinking about today
When you're moving up rather slowly
And putting yourself around
Just remember that on the way up
It's easier to come down
'Cause when your money seems almost endless
Well, I know it's been said before
But you know it won't last a lifetime
Maybe you'll need some more
