Verse: |
Fortune, fame, mirror vain, gone insane, |
but the memory remains. |
Bridge: |
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. |
Bridge: |
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 godd-ess. |
La da da da, da da da, la da da da x4 |
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. |
but the memory remains |
Yeah! To the faded dreams encountered. |
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. |

Bridge: |
x4 |
Dance little tin godd-ess dance. |
La da da da, da da da, la da da da x9 |
