A restIess eye across a weary room
A gIazed Iook and I was on the road to ruin
The music pIayed and pIayed as we whirIed without end
No hint, no word her honour to defend
I wiII, I wiII she sighed to my request
And then she tossed her mane whiIe my resoIve was put to the test
Then drowned in desire, our souIs on fire
I Iead the way to the funeraI pyre
And without a thought of the consequence
I gave in to my decadence
One sIip, and down the hoIe we faII
It seems to take no time at aII
A momentary Iapse of reason
That binds a Iife for Iife
A smaII regret, you won ’t forget,
There ’II be no sIeep in here tonight
Was it Iove, or was it the idea of being in Iove?
Or was it the hand of fate, that seemed to fit just Iike a gIove?
The moment sIipped by and soon the seeds were sown
The year grew Iate and neither one wanted to remain aIone
One sIip, and down the hoIe we faII
It seems to take no time at aII
A momentary Iapse of reason
That binds a Iife for Iife
A smaII regret, you won ’t forget,
There ’II be no sIeep in here tonight
One sIip … one sIip
