The better to sleep out the days
But I'm looking for a reason to kick and scream
I don't want to fade away
We think that the power is in our hands
Cause we're holding the remote control
Pile up the lot and what've you got?
Bitter-sweet nothing at all
[Chorus]
Some set their hearts on a rocking chair
The better to sleep out the days
But I'm looking for a reason to kick and scream
I don't want to fade away
Fade away, fade away
I don't want to fade away
It's a mighty long way from my own front door
To the world we were going to make
We got bloodied and bruised for the old excuse
That it's hard just staying awake
[Chorus]
Fade away, fade away
I don't want to fade away
Wake me up if you catch me falling
Gently into the night
Shine up my shoes 'cause I can't get used
To the dying of the light
[Chorus]
Fade away, fade away
I don't want to fade away
Fade away, fade away
I don't want to fade away
Fade away, fade away
I don't want to fade away
Some set their hearts on a rocking chair The better to sleep out the days But I'm looking for a reason to kick and scream I don't want to fade away We think that the power is in our hands Cause we're holding the remote control Pile up the lot and what've you got? Bitter-sweet nothing at all [Chorus] Some set their hearts on a rocking chair The better to sleep out the days But I'm looking for a reason to kick and scream I don't want to fade away Fade away, fade away I don't want to fade away It's a mighty long way from my own front door To the world we were going to make We got bloodied and bruised for the old excuse That it's hard just staying awake [Chorus] Fade away, fade away I don't want to fade away Wake me up if you catch me falling Gently into the night Shine up my shoes 'cause I can't get used To the dying of the light [Chorus] Fade away, fade away I don't want to fade away Fade away, fade away I don't want to fade away Fade away, fade away I don't want to fade away Explain Request ×
