Lyrics

[Intro]
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
But the memory remains
[Verse 1]
Heavy rings on fingers wave
Another star denies the grave
See the nowhere crowd cry the nowhere cheers of honor
[Verse 2]
Like twisted vines that grow
Hide and swallow mansions whole
And dim the light of an already faded prima donna
[Chorus]
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
But the memory remains
[Verse 3]
Heavy rings hold cigarettes
Up to lips that time forgets
While the Hollywood sun sets behind your back
[Verse 4]
And can't the band play on?
Just listen, they play my song
Ash to ash, dust to dust, fade to black
[Chorus]
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
Dance, little tin goddess
[PreChorus]
Drift away
Fade away
Little tin goddess
Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black
[Chorus]
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
But the memory remains
[Bridge]
Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black
But the memory remains
[Bridge]
To this faded prima donna, yeah
[Outro]
Dance, little tin goddess, dance
