Red Hot Chili Peppers - Fortune Faded Lyrics

They say in chess, you gotta kill the queen

And then you mate 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 overstayed 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 faded

The medicated state of mind you find is overrated

Oh I, do you?

You saw it all come down and now it's 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 faded

(Instrumental Bridge)

Come on God, do I seem bulletproof?

So divine, hell of an elevator

All the while my fortune faded

Never mind the consequences of the crime this time

My fortune faded x2
