Jewel - Fade Away Lyrics
It's k-mart, the bathroomI'm staring in the mirrorThe green lights are brightIt makes the lines clearerHeard the angel goCigarette smoke's all that's leftI've traded in my wings for a string of pearlsAnd now the string is all i've leftThe light bulbs burnSome ones in the stallBig whiteBrick wallMakes me feel smallAnd i take my shirt offLooking for a glimpse of fleshI peel back the concreteHope there's still some soil leftCuz i am fadingI am fadingI am fading awayI am fadingJust like fairy talesHero loses faithI am fadingThe air smells like urinIt's getting hard to breatheI could walk out that doorBut no one really ever leavesI take all my clothing offTrying not to forgetStupid things likeThe color of rainAnd the smell of stone when it's wetAnd i am ***** in the mirrorWith a feather in my handThe lady comes out of the bathroomScreaming, "oh, jesus!"Like i was a manAnd i ask her"hey, what happens to us When we get old and in the way?"I guess she answered me cus' theyTook me awayAnd i am fadingI am fadingI am fading awayI am fadingJust like fairy talesHero's loses faithAnd i do not knowWhy or whenI guess that spring is just a leave me ??And i am fadingI'm fadingTranscribed by leave the shadows dancing
