Speak here on your cue Now look into camera five See the slightest hue In the soft focus lights I wish this were all over We're in for a long, long haul if you won't Fade away, fade away Before this all goes to waste Your words in backwards prose You have such a candid tongue You don't sink like stones Like all the other ones Just set the bar so low You don't have so far to fall Fade away, fade away Before this all goes to waste I fear that these words may prove fatal I'm gonna lay all my cards on the table Just look how far we've come And you'll send us ten steps off You've got it all so, you've got it all so wrong Why did you go away? Why did you go away? Why did you go away? Why did you go away? Why did you go away? Why did you go away? Why did you go away? Why did you go away?
