Slipstream - Allan Clarke

Caught in a slipstream

Moving to a bad dream

I wasn’t ready for the jet lag

The worst trip I ever had

Two up, two down

On the wrong side of town

Don’t be old fashioned

Throw the?

Glass around

A baby cries from a tenement below

We were together then

But that was long ago

Now listen to the wind

As it cries to me in vain

She’s uptown now

And moving on again

Slipstream, ooh, you know

I’m falling apart at the seams

Caught in a slipstream tonight

We used to paint the mission

Down on Fifth Street, North of Vine

We did it all for peanuts

Didn’t pay us for our time

Then we started chasing rainbows

That waved overhead

I tried to fly there with you

But my wings were made of lead

Now listen to the wind

As it cries to me in vain

She’s uptown now

And moving on again

Caught in a slipstream

(Caught in a slipstream)

Moving to a bad dream

I wasn’t ready for the jet lag

The worst trip I ever had

Slipstream

Ooh, falling apart at the seams

Caught in a slipstream tonight

Yeah, tonight

Now I’m caught in a slipstream

Yes, caught in a slipstream

Caught in a slipstream

Caught in a slip, bad dream

You know I’m caught in a slipstream

Caught in a slipstream

(Moving on a bad dream)

Moving to a bad dream

(You know I’m caught in a slipstream)

Caught in a slipstream

Moving to a bad dream
