Fading

Expo '86

Fading


Sometimes I Think This Cycle Never Ends 
We Slide From Top to Bottom and We Turn and Climb Again 
And It Seems By the Time That I Have Figured What It's Worth 
The Squeaking of Our Skin Against the Steel Has Gotten Worse.

But If I Move My Place in Line I'll Lose. 
And I Have Waited, the Anticipation's Got Me Glued.

I Am Waiting For Something to Go Wrong. 
I Am Waiting For Familiar Resolve.

Sometimes It Seems That I Don't Have the Skills to Recollect 
The Twists and Turns of Plots That Took Us From Lovers to Friends 
I'm Thinking I Should Take That Volume Back Up Off the Shelf 
And Crack It's Weary Spine and Read to Help Remind Myself

But If I Move My Place in Line I'll Lose. 
And I Have Waited, the Anticipation's Got Me Glued.

I Am Waiting For Something to Wrong 
I Am Waiting For Familiar Resolve 
I Am Waiting For Another Repeat 
Another Diet Fed By Crippling Defeat 
And I Am Waiting For That Sense of Relief 
I Am Waiting For You to Flee the Scene 
As If You Held in Your Hand the Smoking Gun 
And On the Floor Lay the One You Said You Loved.

And It's Strange 
They Are Basically the Same 
So I Don't Ask Names Anymore.

Sometimes I Think This Cycle Never Ends 
We Slide From Top to Bottom and We Turn and Climb Again 
And It Seems By the Time That I Have Figured What It's Worth 
The Squeaking of Our Skin Against the Steel Has Gotten Worse.
