Caught in a slipstream
Moving to a bad dream
I wasn't ready for the jet lag

The worst trip i ever had

Two up, two down

On the wrong side of town
Don't be old fashioned
Throw the glass around


A baby cries from a tenement below
We were together then

But that was long ago

Now listen to the wind

As it cries to me in vain
She's uptown now
And moving on again


[chorus]


Slipstream, ooh, you know
I'm falling apart at the seams
Caught in a slipstream tonight


We used to paint the mission
Down on fifth street, north of vine

We did it all for peanuts
Didn't pay us for our time


Then we started chasing rainbows
That waved overhead
I tried to fly there with you

But my wings were made of lead

Now listen to the wind

As it cries to me in vain
She's uptown now
And moving on again


Caught in a slipstream
(caught in a slipstream)

Moving to a bad dream
I wasn't ready for the jet lag
The worst trip i ever had


Slipstream
Ooh, falling apart at the seams

Caught in a slipstream tonight
Yeah, tonight


[repeat chorus 2x]

Now i'm caught in a slipstream

Yes, caught in a slipstream
Caught in a slipstream


Caught in a slip, bad dream
You know i'm caught in a slipstream


Caught in a slipstream
(moving on a bad dream)
Moving to a bad dream

(you know i'm caught in a slipstream)

Caught in a slipstream

Moving to a bad dream
