People We Know (Album Version) - Ric Ocasek

作词：R Ocasek

作曲：R Ocasek

When your eyes are tight now

You see the crash site howl

A crucified morning

And people thunder-storming

Welcome to the heat race

Dancers on a red plate

Strike while the iron is hot

But you know that it's dark outside

(Soon you'll see it slip away)

And you have little time to hide

(Washed away from the rain)

Love and disarm now

It will do you no harm now

People we know slip away

Feel like a gun-head

From things that are not said

You had a Sunday notion

You'd go through the motions

Feeling cross and wavy

You know you couldn't save me

Try to retrieve me somehow

You want to die in the morning sun

(Why are they all afraid)

And blow around like the chosen one

It's a shame it's all a game

You're too late

Swinging at the sea stars

Living on a memoir

People we know slip away

(Soon you'll see it slip away)

(Washed away from the rain)

When your eyes are tight now

You see the crash site howl

A crucified morning

It comes with no warning

Where it's gonna come from

Is it gonna feel numb

People we know slip away

Ah people we know slip away
