Fade Away Songtext
von Foreign Beggars

Do you feel like a distant memory?
What are you gonna do? (What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do?)
We′re just a fraction of the way
But where are we going to? (Where are
We going to? Where are we going to?)
Where does the time fly to? (Where does the time fly to?)
We don't really know (We don′t really know, we don't really know)
As we reminisce on all the times (On all the times)
They fade away

Yo, yo

As a child all they wanted was your first word
And now you found that they'd prefer it if you join the herd
They′re tellin′ you to follow followers, it's so absurd
And they won′t miss you till you're missin′ like a dodo bird

They try to tell you you a born sinner
I can see it in your eyes, you're a born winner
You a god like giver, you a lord figure


Many faces to your power, you a lord shiver
You ′bout the power and potential of a ward river
Now marry that with the perfection in a nautilus
We are light, we are love, we are cure givers
Our life of music's more than bangin' out some floor fillers
You are Jesus in the flesh, one of four pillars
Walk with us, honest buddha when you talk with us
Why′d you think this bill with us give you pure shivers?
Channel space, let us take you through the door with us

Do you feel like a distant memory?
What are you gonna do? (What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do?)
We′re just a fraction of the way
But where are we going to? (Where are
We going to? Where are we going to?)
Where does the time fly to? (Where does the time fly to?)
We don't really know (We don′t really know, we don't really know)
As we reminisce on all the times (On all the times)
They fade away

43 Summers, I′ve always been a gypsy since a kid
Likkle yout in the streets rollin' up spliff

Tryna impress the older youts, that′s what I did
Snotty nose, dirty face, mixed race hybrid
Northern empire of the slums
Councillor's estates full of rain, cotton and guns
Where everyone bends the rules, cash ain't stoppin′ your fun


Police cars comin′, if they stoppin', we run
All I did was birth a spark of light
That I bring to this world to help
My people through the darkest nights

When we′re born everyone's heart is right
It′s the world that changes us before we spread our wings and fly
Skin colour doesn't define the people that we are before development
Arrested or irrelevant, with memories like a elephant
To all our fallen children of the streets
Your life meant everythin′, yeah

Do you feel like a distant memory?
What are you gonna do? (What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do?)
We're just a fraction of the way
But where are we going to? (Where are
We going to? Where are we going to?)
Where does the time fly to? (Where does the time fly to?)
We don't really know (We don′t really know, we don′t really know)
As we reminisce on all the times (On all the times)
They fade away
