It's k-mart, the bathroom I'm staring in the mirror The green lights are bright It makes the lines clearer Heard the angel go Cigarette smoke's all that's left I've traded in my wings for a string of pearls And now the string is all I've left
The light bulbs burn Some ones in the stall Big white Brick wall Makes me feel small And I take my shirt off Looking for a glimpse of flesh I peel back the concrete Hope there's still some soil left
Cuz I am fading I am fading I am fading away I am fading Just like fairy tales Hero loses faith I am fading
The air smells like urin Getting all I could walk out that door But no one really ever leaves I take all my clothing off Trying not to forget Stupid things like The color of urin 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 ? ? ? Took me away
And I am fading I am fading I am fading away I am fading Just like fairy tales Hero's loses faith And I do not know Why or when I guess that spring is just a leave me ? ? And I am fading I'm fading
