Lyrics for Fortune Faded

They say in chess you've got to kill the queen And then you made it Oh, why? Do you? A funny thing the king who gets himself assasinated Hey now Every time I lose Altitude You took a town by storm the mess you made was nominated Oh, why? Do you? Now put away your welcome, soon you'll find you've over stayed it Hey now Every time I lose Altitude So divine Hell of an elevator All the while my fortune faded Nevermind The consequences of the crime this time My fortune's faded The medicated state of mind you've found is over rated Oh, why? Do you? You saw it all come down and now its time to imitate it Hey, now Every time I lose Altitude So divine Hell of an elevator All the while my fortune faded Nevermind The consequences of the crime this time My fortune's faded Come on god Do I seem bullet proof? So divine Hell of an elevator All the while my fortune faded Nevermind The consequences of the crime this time My fortune's faded So divine Hell of an elevator All the while my fortune faded Nevermind The consequences of the crime this time My fortune's faded
