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.
