fade away i m fading

Jewel

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
