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 honor to defend
"I will, I will," she sighed to my request
Then she tossed her mane and my resolve was put to the test
Then drowned in desire
My soul was on fire
I led the way to the funeral pyre
Without a thought to 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 to a life
Just one 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, 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
The one regret you'll never forget
There'll be no sleep in here tonight
