Fade Away - Downplay

Preacher man selling in bookstores

Is the money your savior?

Salvation sold at the door

Is your heart made of stone?

Celebrity, what are you famous for?

Do you like being a camera whore?

Respect for the way you’re born

Do you feel alone?

Hey you, as you look out for number one

Do you like what you have become?

Hey you, did your dreams just fade away?

When you jumped right into the flame

It’s too late

Too late

When did the real you fade away?

Senator, blame it on the poor

When you weren’t ever there before

We can’t listen anymore

Do you feel alone?

Hey you, as you look out for number one

Do you like what you have become?

Hey you, did your dreams just fade away?

When you jumped right into the flame

It’s too late

Too late

When did the real you fade away?

(Fade away)

(Fade away)

(Fade away)

Fade away

Gave yourself up for all the dough

For a cardboard halo

I can’t defect to take the place

While the real you fades away

Do you feel alone?

Hey you, as you look out for number one

Do you like what you have become?

Hey you, did your dreams just fade away?

When you jumped right into the flame

It’s too late

Too late

When did the real you fade away?
