If I take a walk down by the riverside You might wind up drowning With your hands all tied Might take a fall, could break your neck You just don't know what you might expect Yes you just might fade away You might wake up in the afternoon Wearing someone else's clothes Lyin' in the heap on the corner of All Saints Road Dreaming of somebody special Dreaming of somebody new Watching that somebody disappear Cos they can't stand you And yes, you just might fade away A 100 dollar room on the 21st floor A "Do not disturb"-sign, I hang it on the door Think of giving it up, think of settling down Think of what it would be like to be homeward-bound Yes you just might fade away Better keep down your voice Cos someone might hear Getting a little careless aren't you Leavin' clues everywhere If it's not a burnt matchstick It's a cigarette butt If it's not a greasy fingerprint It's a trailer that died of love Yes you just might fade away Yes you just might fade away
