Songtexte: The Get Up Kids. There Are Rules. Rememorable.

Speak here on your cue
Now look into camera five
See the slightest hue
In the soft focus lights
I wish this were all over
We're in for a long, long haul if you won't

Fade away, fade away
Before this all goes to waste

Your words in 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 all goes to waste

I fear that these words may prove fatal
I'm gonna 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, you've got it all so wrong

Why did you go away?
Why did you go away?
Why did you go away?
Why did you go away?

Why did you go away?
Why did you go away?
Why did you go away?
Why did you go away?
