[Verse]
He wears commitment like a coat of arms
A fragile weight for him to bear
It's in the structure of innocent charm
That hangs between them everywhere
[Chorus]
You slip
And put another rubber bullet in my back again
You slip, you slip
You slip
And put another rubber bullet in my back again
You slip, you slip
[Verse]
Fate dances on a pliable line that keeps love apart
From all that enmity could bear
He feels the ache of her effulgent heart
And so resolves to disappear
And so I carry on
To Bayonne, Bayonne, Bayonne
Where my anatomy can sooner find alacrity
To set me apart from it all
For feeling far too much, too young
[Chorus]
You slip
And put another rubber bullet in my back again
You slip, you slip
You slip
And put another rubber bullet in my back again
You slip, you slip
[Outro]
Always be suspicious when they put their arms around you
And they tell you they're delighted to see you
(x4)
[Chorus]
You slip
And put another rubber bullet in my back again
You slip, you slip
(x4)
