I'm watching the Twilight Zone
All my life in black and white
I've just seen something that you all should know
I just about drowned in a purple light
Take me from my green mountain home
I'll pay you with a stick across your back
Headed out where the tigers roam
And I'm pretty damn sure I'm not coming back
As a man
I fade away
I fade away
The duke was on the radio
Oh, golden Kleo of '55
'82 and I'm on the floor
That old pink light right between my eyes
I've been to Paris
Paris, France
I gave a big speech but it was all jive
I met a girl and I learned to dance
And then I nearly lost my mind
As a man
I fade away
I fade away
There's a dire wind on the southern side
Open the window, let the sun shine in
I miss those days on Adeline
Once I was fat, now I'm Horselover thin
I sold my tears in the purple light
All my life I'm a lover of man
So I won't leave without a fight
Pink light on the southern end
As a man
I fade away
I fade away
