This is gonna hurt, kid
You better hold on tight
You know, all those drugs you take
Cannot help you save your soul

Smile a Sunday smile, kid
You're fragile as a seam
You know, all those things you have
Will not make you come undone

Tell me, tell me you'll be all right
When you're in the shade
Tell me, tell me you'll be all right
When you start to fade

Who's your only friend, kid?
There's no one else
You know, all those girls you love
Doesn't mean you feel a thing

Tell me, tell me you'll be all right
When you're in the shade
Tell me, tell me you'll be all right
When you start to fade

Softly sway
Or have you lost your way?
Well, I could give you a map
But you know you'd have to stay

You can clarify 
Or you can say goodnight
Well if you think it's a joke
Then why do you always cry?

Tell me, tell me you'll be all right
When you're in the shade
Tell me, tell me you'll be all right
When you start to fade

Have you heard
The days are getting shorter?
What will you do when your suntan is faded and the summer's gone?
Do you feel afraid?

The days are getting shorter
What will you do when your suntan is faded and the summer's gone?

Do you feel afraid?
The days are getting shorter
What will you do when your suntan is faded and the summer's gone?

Do you feel afraid?
The days are getting shorter
What will you do when your suntan is faded and the summer's gone?

Will it fade away?
Will it fade away?
Will you fade away?
Will you fade away?
Will you fade away?
