Slipping - O'Brother

You’re a place I cannot leave

A space I cannot see

A pitfall underneath

I, I, I’m slipping

You’re a poison in my teeth

A tongue I cannot speak

A pitfall underneath

I, I, I’m slipping

(Devil in your bed)

I’m pulling punches instead of getting even

(Devil in your bed)

I’m pulling punches instead of just leaving

You’re loss I cannot grieve

A truth I disbelieve

A pitfall underneath

I, I, I’m slipping

It’s a tangled web we weave

Drunk on pleasantries

A pitfall underneath

I, I, I’m slipping

(Devil in your bed)

I’m pulling punches instead of getting even

(Devil in your bed)

I’m pulling punches instead of just leaving

(Devil in your bed)

I’m pulling punches instead of getting even

(Devil in your bed)

I’m pulling punches instead of just leaving

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh

I, I, I’m slipping

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh

I, I, I’m slipping

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh

I, I, I’m slipping

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh

I, I, I’m slipping

(Devil in your bed)

I’m pulling punches instead of getting even

(Devil in your bed)

I’m pulling punches instead of just leaving

(Devil in your bed)

I’m pulling punches instead of getting even

(Devil in your bed)

I’m pulling punches instead of just leaving

(Devil in your bed)

I’m pulling punches instead of getting even

(Devil in your bed)
