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 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 have 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   I 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 urine   Its getting hard to breathe   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 urine   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 didn't answer me   Cuz it 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 leaving me again And I am fading I'm fading
