It's Walmart, the bathroom, I'm staring in the mirrorFluorescent lights are bright, it makes the lines clearerWhere did the angel go? Cigarette smoke's all that's leftTraded my wings in for a string of pearls And the string is all I've leftThe light bulbs buzz, and someone's in the storeBig white brick wall makes me feel smallAnd I take my shirt off, looking for a glimpse of fleshPeel back the concrete, hope there's something natural leftCause I am fading, I'm fading, I'm fading awayI am fading just like fairy tales, my hero loses faithI am fadingThe air smells like urine, it's getting hard to breatheI could walk out that door, but no one ever really leavesAnd I take my clothing off, trying not to forgetStupid things like the color of rain, and the smell of stone when it's wetI am fading, I'm fading, I'm fading awayI am fading just like fairy tales, my hero loses faithAnd I am naked in the mirror with a feather in my handThe lady comes out of the bathroom screaming, oh Jesus, she couldn't understandBut I ask her, hey, what happens to us when we get old and in the way?I guess she answered me cause they, they took me awayAnd I am fading, I'm fading, I'm fading awayI am fading just like fairy tales, my hero loses faithAnd I don't know how, and I don't know when, don't know when I forgot, hope I remember againI am fading awayI am fading
