Lyrics

[Intro]

Ah

Well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well

Ooh-ooh, ooh

Hush 'em up

[Verse 1]

I was slippin' into darkness

When they took my friend away

I was slippin' into darkness

When they took, when they took my friend away

[Verse 2]

You know he love to drink good whiskey

Whoa, oh, oh, oh

While laughing at the moon

[Chorus]

Slippin' into darkness

Take my mind beyond the dreams

I was slippin' into darkness, yeah

Take my mind beyond the dreams

[Verse 3]

Where I talk to my brother

Whoa, oh, oh, oh

Who never said their name

[Chorus]

Slippin' into darkness, yeah

All my trouble, so I choose

I was slippin' into darkness, yeah

All my trouble, so I choose

[Verse 4]

I got a wife and a baby, yeah, yeah

Whoa, oh, oh, oh

Now my love hath gained it's fame, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]

Slippin' into darkness, yeah

When I heard my mother say

I was slippin' into darkness, yeah

When I heard my mother say

[Bridge]

Hey, what'd she say, what'd she say?

You've been slippin' into darkness

Whoa, oh, oh, oh

Pretty soon you gonna pay (Pay)

[Outro]

Ooh

Ooh

Ooh

Ooh

Ooh
