Fortune, fame, mirror, vain
Gone insane, but the memory remains
Heavy rings on fingers wave, another star denies the grave
See the nowhere crowd cry the nowhere cheers of honor
Like twisted vines that grow, hide and swallow mansions whole
And dim the light of an already faded prima donna
Fortune, fame, mirror, vain
Gone insane
Fortune, fame, mirror vain
Gone insane, but the memory remains
Heavy rings hold cigarettes up to lips that time forgets
While the Hollywood sun sets behind your back
And can't the band play on? Just listen, they play my song
Ash to ash, dust to dust, fade to black
Fortune, fame, mirror, vain
Gone insane
Fortune, fame, mirror, vain
Gone insane
Dance, little tin goddess
Drift away, fade away little tin goddess
Ash to ash, dust to dust, fade to black |
