Fortune, fame, mirror vain, gone insane but the memory remains Heavy rings on fingers wave Another star denies their grave See the nowhere crowd cry the nowhere tears of honor Like twisted vines that grow Hide and swallow mansions whole 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 yeah Dance little tin goddess Nananananana nananada nananananana nanananadana Nananananana nananada nananananana nanananadana Drift away, fade away Little tin goddess Ash to ash, dust to dust, fade to black Fortune, fame, mirror vain, gone insane yeah Fortune, fame, mirror vain, gone insane but the memory remains Ash to ash, dust to dust, fade to black...
