Speak here on your cue, 
Look into camera five
Sit a slight askew 
In the soft focus lights
I wish this were over 
We’re in for a long, long haul 
If you won’t

Fade away
Fade away
Before this’ll go to waste

Your word's a backwards prose, 
You have such a candid tongue
You don’t sink like stones, 
Like all the other ones
Just set the bar so low, 
You don’t have so far to fall

Fade away
Fade away
Before this’ll go to waste

I fear that these words may prove fatal
Going to lay all my cards on the table
Just look how far we’ve come 
And you’ll send us ten steps off
You’ve got it all so wrong

Why don’t you go away?
