i m watching the twilight zone all my life in black and white i ve just seen something that you all should know i just about drowned in a purple light take me from my green mountain home i ll pay you with a stick across your back headed out where the tigers roam and i m pretty damn sure i m not coming back as a man i fade away i fade away the duke was on the radio oh golden kleo of 55 82 and i m on the floor that old pink light right between my eyes i ve been to paris paris france i gave a big speech but it was all jive i met a girl and i learned to dance and then i nearly lost my mind as a man i fade away i fade away there s a dire wind on the southern side open the window let the sun shine in i miss those days on adeline once i was fat now i m horselover thin i sold my tears in the purple light all my life i m a lover of man so i won t leave without a fight pink light on the southern end as a man i fade away i fade away
