They stumbled into their lives
  In a vague way became man and wife
  One got the other they deserved one another
  They settled in a brand new town
  With people from the same background
  Kept themselves busy
  Long hours left them dizzy
  Now when he's in, she's out
    All you ever do is fade away
  All you ever do is fade away
  They are not making plans
  Because now they understand
  All you ever do is fade away
    He noticed he had visible lines
  She worried about her behind
  Their birth had been the death of them
  It didn't really bother them
  Now when she's in, he's out
    All you ever do is fade away
  All you ever do is fade away
  She's not making plans
  Because now she understand
  All you ever do is fade away
    When he's in, she's out
    All you ever do is fade away
  All you ever do is fade away
  They're not making plans
  Because now they understand
  You must learn to forget
  Cause this is all you have
  All you ever do is fade away
  All you ever do is fade away
  All you ever do is fade away
    They're not making plans
  Because now they understand
  All you ever do is fade away
  All you ever do is fade away
  All you ever do is fade away
