It's K-Mart, the bathroom
   Staring in the mirror
   The green lights are bright,
   It makes the lines clearer
   Where did the angel's 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 buzz
   Some ones in the stall
   Big white, brick wall
   Makes me feel small
   I take my shirt off
   Looking for a glimpse of flesh
   I peel back the concrete
   I hope there's still some soil left
   
   Cause I am fading
   I am fading
   I... I'm fading away
   I am fading, just like fairy tales
   When the hero loses faith
   I am fading...
   
   The air smells like urine
   It's 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 rain
   or the smell of stone when it's wet
   And I am naked in the mirror with 
   A feather in my hand
   A 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 me, 
   because they
   They took me away
   
   And I am fading
   I am fading
   I... I'm fading away
   I am fading, just like fairy tales
   When the hero's loses faith
   And I can't remember 
   How or when
   I hope that I'll 
   remember again...
   And I am fading
   I'm fading
