Pink Floyd - One slip lyrics

A restless eye across a weary room,
A glazed look and I was on the road to ruin.
The music played and played as we whirled without end.
No hint, no word her honour to defend.

I will, I will she sighed to my request
And then she tossed her mane
While my resolve was put to the test.
Then drowned in desire, our souls on fire
I lead the way to the funeral pyre
And without a thought of the consequence
I gave in to my decadence.

One slip, and down the hole we fall,
It seems to take no time at all.
A momentary lapse of reason
That binds a life for life,
A small regret, you won't forget,
There'll be no sleep in here tonight.

Was it love, or was it the idea of being in love?
Or was it the hand of fate, that seemed to fit just like a glove?
The moment slipped by and soon the seeds were sown.
The year grew late and neither one wanted to remain alone.

One slip, and down the hole we fall,
It seems to take no time at all.
A momentary lapse of reason
That binds a life to a life,
A small regret, you will never forget,
There'll be no sleep in here tonight.
