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)
