(I watch it all slip away, slip away) (In the most beautiful sight, my worst nightmare) Who builds a world upon a man? My ship has sailed, this ship has sailed It was loaded with jewels and gems Wave my vices farewell for the best Ah, ah-ah The careless knot I knew wouldn't hold Pulled it out to open sea Pirates drained it on all that was gold But they got the worst of me And I watch it all slip away, slip away In the most beautiful sight, my worst nightmare Empty shell and open chest Memories from previously, ooh All old possessions left behind of my ocean They're drifting off to leave me clean The careless knot I knew wouldn't hold Pulled it out to open sea (Pulled it out to open sea) Pirates drained it on all that was gold But they got the worst of me (They got the worst of me) In my pockets Stirs up the life in me (Stirs up the life in me) And build it all again As I watch it all slip away, slip away In the most beautiful sight, my worst nightmare I watch it all slip away, slip away I watch it all slip away, slip away I watch it all slip away, slip away In the most beautiful sight, my worst nightmare I watch it all slip away, slip away I watch it all slip away, slip away I watch it all slip away, slip away In the most beautiful sight, my worst nightmare
