There are rumors going around
you can feel history comin about
you're never sure just where its gonna stay
you suffer through lingering doubt
you wish someone would spit it out
but things dont work that way
there is so much going on
the faces in the crowd belong
to a team on which you'd love to play
Your tatoos are gonna fade
fade
fade
fade
fade
our youth like wax drips down
in puddles around our legs, it hardens,
hardens,
catching us, the quick
youre putting alot of importance in something youre really just playing a part in, you should take what action you can get
theres much i dont wanna remember
theres nothing i'd wish last forever,
let me put it another way:
i know your looking for some permanence,
but there really is no place for this
your tatoos
are gonna fade
well its not as important
for a person has to die
when youre so angry nothing matters
you'll be brave,
cuz everything counts
And i'd never be insulted,
if there was writing on my sleeve,
unless i was sure i could change it when i was ready to leave
i know your looking for some permanence,
but there really is no place for this
your tatoos
are gonna fade
