[Verse 1]
Fadeout 1930 era
I never really tried you out
Like all my friends that used to be
Just never had the time for me
[Verse 2]
You can change your colours
I'll just change my point of view
I'll live a lie to prove my point
Or I'll turn all my thoughts to you
[Chorus]
Fadeout 1930
Fadeout 1930
Fadeout 1930
Fadeout 1930
[Verse 3]
Keep a low profile
Strange how it gets around
Out of sight, out of mind
I look through me I'm out of mine
[Verse 4]
Everything I say, I've heard
And nothing's mine except my wall
Do you begin to see
There really is no me at all
[Chorus]
Fadeout 1930
Fadeout 1930
Fadeout 1930
Fadeout 1930
[Verse 5]
Visions come and visions go
Nothing's ever quite what it seems
I hope the sadness doesn't show
For I still cling to some old dreams
[Verse 6]
Private thoughts just to you
My head liked private ways
I never tried so hard before
I've really nothing else to say
[Chorus]
Fadeout 1930
Fadeout 1930

Fadeout 1930 era
I never really tried you out
Like all my friends that used to be
Just never had the time for me
[Verse 2]
You can change your colours
I'll just change my point of view
I'll live a lie to prove my point
Or I'll turn all my thoughts to you
