Fourteen junkies
Too weak to work
One sells diamonds
For what they're worth
Down on pain street
Disappointment lurks
Son, don't be home too late
Try to get back by eight
Son, don't wait
Till the break of day
'Cause you know
How time fades away
Time fades away
You know how time fades away
All day presidents
Look out windows
All night sentries
Watch the moonglow
All are waiting till
The time is right
Son, don't be home too late
Try to get back by eight
Son, don't wait
Till the break of day
'Cause you know
How time fades away
Time fades away
You know how time fades away
Back in Canada I spent my days
Riding subways through a haze
I was handcuffed
I was born & raised
Son, don't be home too late
Try to get back by eight
Son, don't wait
Till the break of day
'Cause you know
How time fades away
Time fades away
You know how time fades away
Thirteen junkies
Too weak to work
One sells diamonds
For what they're worth
Down on pain street
Disappointment lurks
Son, don't be home too late
Try to get back by eight, eight
Son, don't wait
Till the break of day
'Cause you know
How time fades away
Time fades away
You know how time fades away
Time fades away
You know how time fades away
