Triffids Just Might Fade Away
If I take a walk down by the riverside
You might wind up drowning
With your hands all tied
Might take a fall, could break your neck
You just don't know what you might expect
Yes you just might fade away
You might wake up in the afternoon
Wearing someone else's clothes
Lyin' in the heap on the corner of All Saints Road
Dreaming of somebody special
Dreaming of somebody new
Watching that somebody disappear
Cos they can't stand you
And yes, you just might fade away
A 100 dollar room on the 21st floor
A Do not disturb-sign, I hang it on the door
Think of giving it up, think of settling down
Think of what it would be like to be homeward-bound
Yes you just might fade away
Better keep down your voice
Cos someone might hear
Getting a little careless aren't you
Leavin' clues everywhere
If it's not a burnt matchstick
It's a cigarette butt
If it's not a greasy fingerprint
It's a trailer that died of love
Yes you just might fade away
Yes you just might fade away
