This is gonna hurt, kid You better hold on tight, you know All those drugs you take Cannot help to save your soul Smile someday, smile, kid You're fragile as a scene, ya know All those things you have Will not make you come undone Tell me tell me you'll be alright When you're in the shade Tell me tell me you'll be alright When you start to fade Who's your only friend, kid? There's noone else, you know All those girls you love, Doesn't mean you feel a thing Tell me tell me you'll be alright When you're in the shade Tell me tell me you'll be alright 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 could quit the fight 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 alright When you're in the shade Tell me tell me you'll be alright When you start to fade Have you heard? The days are getting shorter And what will you do when your suntan is fading and the summer's gone? Do you feel the fade? (x4) Will you fade away? (x5)
