The Memory Remains

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
That 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
But the memory remains

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 da na

Na na na na na na
Na na na da
Na na na na na
Na na na na da na
