People saw the makeup, The lights and all the smoke, but his grace has faded Was a big shot, but the many marks - he's got a lot Still he's as safe and sound It's all an illusion, A mental confusion, he's nice but the mirror never lies All summed up for saving, All that he's craving never to fade or fade away He looks sad and tired, the city never sleeps in a half full venue He fell down the stairway from the stars and into ground Still he's as safe and sound You're fading . fading (Yeah) Now his grace is fading, fading . Things are down, yes, down right from the start Still he's as safe and sound They saw the makeup, but his grace has faded He was sad and tired, He fell down the stairway from the stars (Oh Yeah)
