| 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
|
| We think that the power is in our hands
|
| 'Cos we’re holding the remote control
|
| Pile up the lot and what’ve you got?
|
| Bitter-sweet nothing at all
|
| 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
|
| Wake me up if you catch me falling
|
| Gently into the night
|
| Shine up my shoes 'cos I can’t get used
|
| To the dying of the light
|
| 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 |
