I ll Slip Away (1967 Full Band Version)
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
And I ll forget about the girl that said no
Then I ll tell who I want where to go
And I ll forget about your lies and deceit
And your attempts to be so discreet
[Chorus]
Maybe today, yeah
I ll slip awayâ¦..
[Verse 2]
And you can keep your symbols of success
Then I ll pursue my own happiness
And you can keep your clocks and routines
Then I ll go mend all my shattered dreams
Maybe today, yeah
[Chorus]
I ll slip away
(x2)
[Bridge]
Cause you ve been down on me for too long
And for too long I just put you on
Now I m tired of lying and I m sick of trying
Cause I m losing who I really am
And I m not choosing to be like them
[Verse 3]
And if you get bored and you got loneliness
Or it s dislike for me you express
I won t care if you re right or you re wrong
I won t care cause you see I ll be gone
[Chorus]
Maybe today, yeah
I ll slip away
Maybe today, yeah
I ll slip away
