I remember when you took me on
You spelled it out for me
But it took me too many nights to realize
That we're in too deep
In the mornings when I leave you there
You're just the way I like
But it took me too many times to read the lines
Behind your smile
You know when the stakes are high
Then the drop is deep
You know when they race for time
I must hope to stay
Then you'll just be a number
You'll just be a number in my book
You'll just be a number
You'll just be a number in my book
We'll be slippin' slippin' slippin'
On this rope that we're both on
Slippin' slippin' slippin'
On this rope that we're both on
Can feel the way you look at me
When I turn my back
When I come around you stare at the ground
And put on this mask
You know when the stakes are high
Then the drop is deep
You know when they race for time
I must hope to stay
Then you'll just be a number
You'll just be a number in my book
You'll just be a number
You'll just be a number in my book
We'll be slippin' slippin' slippin'
On this rope that we're both on
Slippin' slippin' slippin'
On this rope that we're both on
We'll be slippin' slippin' slippin'
Slippin' slippin' slippin'
Slippin' slippin' slippin'
Slippin' slippin' slippin'
On this rope that we're both on
We'll be slippin' slippin' slippin'
Slippin' slippin' slippin'
We'll be slippin' slippin' slippin'
On this rope that we're both on
