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
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
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain, gone insane
Insane
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain, gone insane
But the memory remains
Ash to ash [2x]
Dust to dust [2x]
Fade to black [2x]
The memory remains
To this faded prima donna
Dance little tin Goddess, dance
Say yes, at least say hello [2x]
