Slipping by O'Brother

You’re a place I cannot leave

A space I cannot see

A pitfall underneath

I’m slipping

You’re a poison in my teeth

A tongue I cannot speak

A pitfall underneath

I’m slipping

Devil in your bed

I’m pulling punches instead of getting even

Devil in your bed

I’m pulling punches instead of just leaving

You’re loss I cannot grieve

A truth I disbelieve

A pitfall underneath and

I’m slipping

It’s a tangled web

We weave drunk on pleasantries

A pitfall underneath and

I’m slipping

Devil in your bed

I’m pulling punches instead of getting even

Devil in your bed

I’m pulling punches instead of just leaving
