Fatal (Lyrics)

Artist: Pearl Jam
Composer: Gossard

Lyrics:

How good is he? How warm are his eyes?
You'll see it's not a reprise
Did he arrive too late and too tethered away
To put on his suit and his tie?

How good is he? How warm is his heart or ego, telling him which place to park?
Did he relate? The message is clearly, hardly grounds for dismissal
Outright... grounds for dismissal outright...

I wake up and wait up
When anger's in fashion
I wake up and wait up
It echoes through the mansions
I wake up and wait up
When April's in May, oh, uh-oh
I wake up and wait up
The answers are fatal
The answers are fatal

I wake up and wait up
The answers are fatal
If he's truly out of sight, is he truly out of mind?
If he's truly out of sight...

One of my favorite songs. I think it has a beautiful melody and I wish to hear it live someday. I heard it waiting outside the venue in New Castle, Australia, when it was soundchecked, that was special enough. :)

One of PJ's most moving songs. Should have been on Binaural!

Amazed at how much more I like this song each time I hear it.

i also love this song, but what is it about?

Played it THREE times? Should be three-hundred. Hope I'm at the fourth airing, somewhere, sometime...

So happy to see this played in Buffalo!!!

What a beautiful song! When Mr. Vedder f*cked up the opening and then started the song again late in the Buffalo show, I began to really love this band all over again. They are unpretentious, tight, musically innovative, and as honest as a band gets. The false start gave everyone a good laugh, and the guys then played it wonderfully. The Buffalo show was remarkably good. I downloaded the boot and can't stop listening to it.

when this was performed in the Buffalo show I got goosebumps...absolutely amazing. I just hit repeat on this song over & over when listening to my bootleg

I feel so special that I got to hear this one in Buffalo. My favorite song off Lost Dogs.
