Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
You know the nearer to the election, the more I’m slip sliding away
I know a man, he comes from my hometown
He wore his ignorance for economics like a thorny crown
He said Ruddy, I live in fear
The budget deficit’s overpowering, and all surplus has disappeared
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
Yeah Swanny’s longing for some attention, the more I’m slip sliding away
I know a woman, she’s got red hair
She is a very bad person, my very own nightmare
She says a good day is when I’m gone
She says a bad day is when I’m still here
And she thinks of things that might have been
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
I’m yearning for some of Julia’s affection as I’m frantically sliding away
And I know a father of 3 girls
He longs to tell the reporters all the things he's done
He’s come a long way in the leadership
He’s kicking my arse in the polls
It’s time I turned around and headed home again
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
You know I’m resenting the rejection, the more I’m slip sliding away
God only knows, God makes his plan
The information's unavailable to the mortal man
I’m losin’ my job, calling it a day
Believed I was gelling with the voters, when in fact I was slip sliding away
Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
I can’t remember my last erection, the more I’m flip flopping away
