Fortune Faded

by Red Hot Chili Peppers

on Greatest Hits (2003), By The Way (2002)

They say, in chess you've got to kill the queen and then you made it
Oh, I do you
A funny thing, the king who gets himself assassinated
Hey now, every time I lose altitude

You took a town by storm, the mess you made was nominated
Oh, I 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
Never mind the consequences of the crime
This time my fortune's faded

The medicated state of mind you've found is over-rated
Oh, I 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
Never mind 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
Never mind the consequences of the crime
This time my fortune's faded

So divine, hell of an elevator
All the while my fortune faded
Never mind the consequences of the crime
This time my fortune's faded
