Fade In Out
Oasis feat. Johnny Depp Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Said, let's go)
(One, two, three, four)

Get on the roller coaster, the fair's in town today
You gotta be bad enough to beat the brave
So get on the helter skelter, bowl into the fray
You gotta be bad enough to beat the brave
You fade in-out
You fade in-out
Without a doubt
I don't see no shine
Today is just a daydream
Tomorrow we'll be castaway

Comin' in out of nowhere, singin' rhapsody
You gotta be bad enough to wanna be
Sittin' upside a high-chair, the devil's refugee
Is gonna be blinded by the light that follows me

She fade in-out
She fade in-out
Without a doubt
I don't see no shine
Today is just a daydream
Tomorrow she'll be cast away

(Ah!)

We fade in-out
We fade in-out
Without a doubt
I don't see no shine
Today is just a daydream
Tomorrow you'll be cast away

So get on the roller coaster, the fair's in town today
You gotta be bad enough to meet the brave
Get on the helter skelter, step into the fray
You gotta be bad enough to beat the brave

You fade in-out
You fade in-out
You fade in-out
You fade in-out
You fade in-out
You fade in-out
You fade in-out




You fade in-out
You fade in-out
