Lyrics

Oh, Slippin' into darkness
Take my mind beyond the dreams
I was slippin' into darkness, yeah
Take my mind beyond the dreams
Where I talk to my brother (whoa-oh-oh-oh)
Who never said their name, yeah
Slippin' into darkness, yeah, ah
When I heard my mother sayin'
I was slippin' into darkness
When I heard my mother sayin' (hey, what she say, what she say)
"You've been slippin' into darkness" (whoa-oh-oh-oh)
Pretty soon you gonna pay (yeah, ahh)
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Written by: B.B. Dickerson, Harold Brown, Howard Scott, Lee Oskar, Lonnie Jordan, Papa Dee Allen
