David Bowie Slip Away

David Bowie - Slip Away - Live by Request

Oogie waits for just another day
Drags his bones to see the Yankees play
Bones Boy talks and flickers gray
Oh, they slip away

Once a time they nearly might have been
Bones and Oogie on a silver screen
No one knew what they could do
Except for me and you
They slip away
They slip away

CHORUS
Don't forget to keep your head warm
Twinkle twinkle Uncle Floyd
Watching all the world and war torn
How I wonder where you are

Sailing over Coney Island
Twinkle twinkle Uncle Floyd
We were dumb but you were fun, boy
How I wonder where you are
Oo-oo

Oogie knew there's never ever time
Some of us will always stay behind
Down in space it's always 1982
The joke we always knew
Oo-oo
What's-a matter with you

C'mon, let's go
Slip away
Oo-oo

"SLIP" Away About Floyd Vivino of The Uncle Floyd Show, a kiddie-styled variety hour on local New York area from the '70s with puppets Bones Boy and Oogie.

Don't know how much of this Bowie actually viewed, since it would have been the early days of his arrival in the US.

Sorry, my fault;)

[DBowie1983]

Got to go listen to Heathen now. ;)

[izabelabar]

Ok Mr.Marry Mee;)

[Spaceboy06]

Heathen is probably my favorite of Bowie's studio albums.  Don't know why..I just love it. For some reason a lot of people don't.

[NatasTheRock]

A master song from a master of music, thank you.

[kjsh987]

there´s never gonna be a pop star with such a charisma as bowie.never again.

[chicagogordon]

@DanBlabbers for real! It sounds like a sentimental revery that goes so deep. Everything about it is so incredibly honest. I'll love this song forever.

[michaelwtapp]
