  • You grew wings on your heart
    But you let it out your ribcage
    And it flew into the dark

    Like a ghost just like a ghost
    And it flutters by my window
    When I need my sleep the most

    So choose my weapon and choose my way
    It's easy saying nothing when there's nothing to say
    Thinking about it every day, and starting to notice you're fading away

    Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade
    Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow

    You want eyes in your hands
    And power in your pocket
    As I stop to watch you dance

    With your hips swinging they shake hips swinging, got your
    Hips swinging they shake hips swinging, got your
    Hips swinging they shake hips swinging, again

    Got your hips swinging they shake hips swinging, got your
    Hips swinging they shake hips swinging, got your
    Hips swinging they shake hips swinging again, and again, and again

    So choose my weapon and choose my way
    It's easy saying nothing when there's nothing to say
    And thinking about you every day, and starting to notice

    That it's two steps forward and one step back
    Make up in love what you think I lack
    You've got a vampire on your neck
    Everybody knows what happens next

    You fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade
    Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow

    So choose my weapon and choose my way
    It's easy saying nothing when there's nothing to say
    And thinking about you every day, and starting to notice

    (Fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow, fade)
