The Memory Remains

Lyrics

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 tears 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  
  
Na na na na na na na na na da  
Na na na na na na na na na na da na  
Na na na na na na na na na da na na na  
Na na na na na na na da na  
  
Drift away  
Fade away  
Little tin goddess  
Ash to ash  
Dust to dust  
Fade to black  
Fortune, fame  
Mirror vain  
Gone insane  
Fortune, fame  
Mirror vain  
  
Gone insane  
But the memory remains  
Ash to ash  
Dust to dust  
Fade to black  
The memories remain  
Yeah  
To this faded prima donna  
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah  
Dance little tin goddess dance  
  
Na na na na na na na na na da  
Na na na na na na na na na na da na  
Na na na na na na na na na da na na na  
Na na na na na na na da na  
  
[Repeat: x3]  
Ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra  
Da ra ra ra ra ra  
(Say yes, at least say hello)
