Fade Away (I'm Fading)

   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
