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 corwd 
cry the nowhere cheers of honor.
Like twisted vines that grow,
hide and swallow mansions whole
in 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.
(lalalalala..)

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 memory remains
She's a faded prima donna 
yeah yeah yeah yeah
dance little tin goddess, dance.
(lalalala)
