[Chorus]
Straight, no chaser
We don't waste our time on fakeness
One glass, one shot is all it takes us
Better this than fade away
Fade away

[Verse 1]
So, our story goes: This empty city
Crowded skies are clearing but I'm lonesome, lonesome
No! Bring on the night, there's work a plenty
Fluorescent lamps are passing in slow motion
Only I will wander
Only I can leave

[Chorus]
Straight, no chaser
We don't waste our time on fakeness
One glass, one shot is all it takes us
Better this than fade away
Oh, fade away

[Verse 2]
So, we set the scene: A sea of faces
Laser eyes are watching as we close in, close in
Don't play innocent, I know you're thinking
You're chasing conversation out of focus
Only I will wander
Only I can leave

[Chorus]
Straight, no chaser
We don't waste our time on fakeness, no
One glass, one shot is all it takes us
Better this than fade away
Oh, fade away
Straight, no chaser
We don't waste our time on fakeness, oh
One glass, one shot is all it takes us
Better this than fade away
Fade away
Fade away

[Outro]
Fade away
