Fortune Faded Lyrics

by Red Hot Chili Peppers

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

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e48763-red_hot_chili_peppers~fortune_faded_lyrics.html ]
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

CHORUS:
So divine, hell of an elevator
All the while my fortune faded
Nevermind 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

CHORUS

(Instrumental Bridge)

Come on God, do I seem bulletproof?
Ooooooooooh
