This is gonna hurt, kid 

You better hold on tight, you know 

All those drugs you take 

Cannot help to save your soul 


Smile someday, smile, kid 

You're fragile as a scene, ya know 

All those things you have 

Will not make you come undone 


Tell me tell me you'll be alright 

When you're in the shade 

Tell me tell me you'll be alright 

When you start to fade 


Who's your only friend, kid? 

There's noone else, you know 

All those girls you love, 

Doesn't mean you feel a thing 


Tell me tell me you'll be alright 

When you're in the shade 

Tell me tell me you'll be alright 

When you start to fade 


Softly sway, or have you lost your way? 

Well I could give you a map 

But you know you'd have to stay 

You could quit the fight or you can say goodnight 

Well if you think it's a joke 

Then why do you always cry? 


Tell me tell me you'll be alright 

When you're in the shade 

Tell me tell me you'll be alright 

When you start to fade 


Have you heard? 


The days are getting shorter 

And what will you do when your suntan is fading and the summer's gone? 

Do you feel afraid

(x3)


The days are getting shorter 

And what will you do when your suntan is fading and the summer's gone? 


Will you fade away? (x4)
