Fade Away Lyrics by Jewel

Fade Away

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
