Fade Away
Displayed across his chaise longue
Mater pater bicker down the hall
Puts his poison pen to wretched paper
His friends say he's got it all
Clips on his tie and Cheshire smile
The names are down, a list of the begones
Puts coffee cup on his desktop
And a cheap camera to his face
Hit the live switch he's ready
To begin his tirade
Let it all go and simply, simply, simply
Let it all go and simply
Fade away
Oh Master Antoine drawls out the brawl
Opportunity's pride before the fall
Slack-jaw disciples with camera-rifles
Stick around for a couple of bucks
He leads the way, all twinkle eyed
Them kids, they pay, what more can he say
Hits the streets for his 9-to-5
For whatever hits the money honey line by line
He flays passers-by with brays and cries
For his playground of tagalongs
This world's right there outside his window
With all his borders, rules, and lies
Myopic painting how the wind blows
Let it all go and simply, simply, simply
Fade away
This world's right there outside his window
With all his borders, rules, and lies
Myopic painting how the wind blows
Let it all go and simply, simply, simply
Fade away
Fade away
Fade away
Fade away
Mater pater bicker down the hall

Hit the live switch he's ready
To begin his tirade
Let it all go and simply, simply, simply
Let it all go and simply

This world's right there outside his window
With all his borders, rules, and lies
Myopic painting how the wind blows
Let it all go and simply, simply, simply
Fade away
Fade away
Fade away
Fade away
