Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
But the memory remains

Heavy rings on fingers wave
Another star denies his grave
See the nowhere crowd cry the nowhere cheers of honor
Like twisted vines that grow
Hide and swallow mansion whole
And dim the lights 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 cigaretes
Up to lips that time forgets
While the Hollywood sun sets behind your back
But can 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
But the memory remains

La da da da

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 yeah
To this faded prima donna
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Dance little tin goddess dance

La da da da
