Sit down at the table
Show us what you got
And if I believe the word on the street
That ain't gonna be a lot
I don't hear your smart talk
I don't see your silly grin
And now you're playing with the big boys sonny
Let the games begin...
I don't mean to disappoint you
But here come the noise
This is where we sort 'em out
Sort out the men from the boys...
I ain't goin' nowhere
Me I came to play
And when you're in for a dollar
You're in for a dime
When I'm ready then I'll fade away
Fade away...
Better hold on to the railing
Before you overload...
'Cause right up here in the spotlight son
Is where the rubber meets the road
And you ain't got the right now
Until you lived it through
Tell me sonny where do you get off
Talkin' 'bout yesterday's news...
I don't mean to disappoint you
But here come the noise
This is where we sort 'em out
Sort out the men from the boys...
I ain't goin' nowhere
Me I came to play
And when you're in for a dollar
You're in for a dime
When I'm ready then I'll fade away
Fade away...
And I don't mean to disappoint you
But here come the noise
This is where we sort 'em out
Sort out the men from the boys...
I ain't goin' nowhere
Me I came to play
And when you're in for a dollar
You're in for a dime
When I'm ready then I'll fade away
Fade away...
I ain't goin' nowhere
Me I came to play
And when you're in for a dollar
You're in for a dime
When I'm ready then I'll fade away
When I'm ready then I'll fade away
When I'm ready then I'll fade away
When I'm ready then I'll fade away
Oh, fade away...
Oh, fade away...
Oh, fade away...
