text: 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 led 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
  One regret, you will never forget
  There’ll be no sleep in here tonight
  One slip… one slip…
