Slug - Fade Away lyrics

[Verse 1: Slug] I'm looking at that empty gla**, like it might look back And if it did would it recognize the fact That I need to find a way to relax That won't require me to drink away the rain and the fire that paint the tracks The judgement pa**ed upon that awful taste Time flies too fast but it's not a race You see it on my face, I'm trying to concentrate But everything's too blurry to accommodate I gotta chase the impossible But every option starts up with a shot and ends up as an obstacle Maybe I should just drink at home Tell me, why would a prisoner leave his throne? Even when I stand still, I'm still on the run I'm the son of my father, got a bottle of some And this goes to those of us that only live once But don't remember nothing when the morning comes C'mon C'mon [Chorus: Slug, St. Paul Slim & sample] And so I drink to the life of those that drink to d**h If I can't save the day I might as well fade away And so I drink to the life of those that drink to d**h If I can't save the day I might as well fade away (Oh yeah) Fade away, fade away (Oh yeah) Fade away, fade away [Verse 2: St. Paul Slim] Scene 2, this is the part Where my face hits the windshield and it stops my heart Driving the wrong f**ing way down a one way Doing 55 in a 30, 3 AM, Monday No one on the block but me and the cops If I can make it to the crib, I'll do it again, watch I been drinking since noon, f**ing buffoons As far as amounts I lost count, I don't know what I consumed I never do, drink 'till I'm dumb Some say I'm lush, others think I'm a bum But I think I'm in love 'till d**h do us part, and even then too I'm a hell's kitchen, bottle of Don Q I love the taste of it, put it to my face like I'm face f**ing And the pain? It'll erase nothing I'm delusional I wrote this sh** hungover at my job noddin' off at my cubicle Life is beautiful [Chorus: Slug, St. Paul Slim & sample] And so I drink to the life of those that drink to d**h If I can't save the day I might as well fade away (Oh yeah) And so I drink to the life of those that drink to d**h If I can't save the day I might as well fade away (Oh yeah) Fade away, fade away (Oh yeah) Fade away, fade away
