I'm in transit
Floating stranded on this boat
And I pledge myself allegiance 
To a better night sleep at home
And the sweet, sweet sun's comin' down hard
The sun's comin' down hard, it burns the bones
So hold a hand for cover, hold a hand for cover 
Hold a hand for cover from harm

Woo, ooh, ooh
Talk don't change a thing (woo, ooh, ooh)
Oh, it's fading fader (woo, ooh, ooh)
Words don't sink it swims (woo, ooh, ooh)
Oh, it's fading fader

This mess, so we tried our best
That's all that we can do
While the angels walk with the lonely ones
In the cold rain to rescue you
And this fable world's comin' down hard
The wall's comin' down hard on all our homes
So hold a hand for cover, hold a hand for cover
Hold a hand for cover from harm

Woo, ooh, ooh
Talk don't change a thing (woo, ooh, ooh)
Oh, it's fading fader (woo, ooh, ooh)
Words don't sink it swims (woo, ooh, ooh)
Oh, it's fading fader

Woo, ooh, ooh
Talk don't change a thing (woo, ooh, ooh)
Oh, it's fading fader (woo, ooh, ooh)
Words don't sink it swims (woo, ooh, ooh)
Oh, it's fading fader (woo, ooh, ooh)
Oh, it's fading fader (woo, ooh, ooh)
Oh, it's fading fader (woo, ooh, ooh)
