Intro:G - - - - - - - 1. It’s K-Mart the bathroom I’m staring in the mirror the green lights are bright it makes the lines clearer. - Where did the angels go cigarette smoke’s all that’s left I’ve traded my wings in for a string of pearls - - - - and now the string is all I’ve le...........ft. - 2. The light bulbs burn so much someone’s in the stall - big white brick wall makes me feel small. - And I I take my shirt off looking for a glimpse of flesh I peel back the concrete I hope there’s still some soil left. ’Cause I am fading I am fading I am fading away. I am fading just like fairy tales when the hero loses faith. ~ I am fading. - 3. The air smells like urine it’s getting hard to breeze I could walk out that door but no one ever really leaves. - And I I take all my clothing off trying not to forget - oh stupid things like the color of rain and the smell of stone when it’s wet. And I am naked in the mirror with a feather in my hand the lady comes out of the bathroom screaming "Oh Jesus!" Like I was a man. And I ask her "Hey what happens to us when we get old and in the way?" - I guess she answered me ’cos they they took me away. And I am fading I am fading I am fading away. I am fading just like fairy tales when the hero loses faith. And I can’t remember why or when I hope that I’ll remember again. - - - - - - And I am fa......ding. And I’m fa......ding.
