[Refrain] Return to the earth Rain on black clouds Return to the earth Return to the pyre
[Verse 1] Wasn't technically perfect Couldn't have been any better Was a fall with it I don't feel any better
[Bridge] And you were so sick You were skin and bones So you fed yourself excuses Just to keep it going Nodding on and on Raining on and on
[Chorus] So keep on slipping 'til the end of the earth Like a ghost sinking into the ground Keep on slipping 'til the end of the earth Now that all these black clouds Keep on raining down
[Verse 2] Wasn't technically perfect Couldn't have been any better Falling faster and faster Do you still feel clever? Couldn't stop the momentum Couldn't stop you from crashing Wish that I had seen it coming
[Bridge] And you were so sick You were skin and bones So you fed yourself excuses Just to keep it going Nodding on and on Raining on and on
[Chorus] So keep on slipping 'til the end of the earth Do you remember what was said? You could lose the sleep All of those nauseous things Oh, are you alive? Addicted [?] every [?]
[Refrain] Return to the earth And if you come down Return to the earth
[Chorus] So keep on slipping 'til the end of the earth Like a ghost sinking into the ground Keep on slipping 'til the end of the earth Now that all these black clouds Keep on raining
