This is not a monument
This is not a holy writ
Pull my photo from the sun
To make way for the coming one

Ah, ah ah
Ah, ah, ah

I am not an innocent
This is not an accident
In the rosy gloom of youth
Every moment has its truth

It's gonna fade away
It's gonna fade away
Like God today
It's gonna fade away

There is nothing I can say
That is not a cliche
Love is not original
It's not irreplaceable

You are not the only one
Carrying a loaded gun
This is not an attitude
That looks very good on you

It's gonna fade away
It's gonna fade away
Like God today
It's gonna fade away

Ah

It's gonna fade away
It's gonna fade away
Like God today
It's gonna fade away
