When I was a boy I thought it just came to you But I never could tell what's mine So it didn't matter anyway My only pride and joy Was this racket down here Bangin' on an old guitar And singin' what I had to say I always thought our house was haunted 'Cause nobody said "boo" to me I never did get what I wanted But now I get what I need It's been a slow turnin' From the inside out A slow turnin', baby But you come about A slow learnin' But you learn to sway A slow turnin', baby Not fade away, not fade away, not fade away ♪ Now I'm in my car Ooh, I got the radio down Now I'm yellin' at the kids in the back 'Cause they're bangin' like Charlie Watts You think you've come so far In this one horse town Then she's laughin' that crazy laugh 'Cause you haven't left the parking lot Time is short and here's the damn thing about it You're gonna die, gonna die for sure And you can learn to live with love or without it But there ain't no cure It's just a slow turnin' From the inside out A slow turnin' But you come about, ya A slow learnin', baby But you learn to sway A slow turnin' Not fade away, not fade away, not fade away Not fade away, not fade away ♪ A slow turnin' A slow turnin' A slow turnin' A slow turnin'
