[Chorus]
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
But the (memory remains)
Yeah!
[Verse 1]
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
Hide and swallow mansions whole
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 2]
Heavy rings hold cigarettes
Up to lips that time forgets
While the Hollywood sun sets behind your back
Can't the band play on?
Just listen, they play my song
Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black
[Chorus]
Yeah
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
Dance little tin goddess
(La da da....)
[Bridge]
Drift away
F-f-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 (ash to ash)
Dust to dust (dust to dust)
Fade to black (fade to black)
The memory remains
[Outro]
Yeah
To the faded prima donna, yeah, yeah, yeah hey
Mr. Hammett!
[Solo]
Dance little tin goddess dance
Sing it, baby!
(La da da....)
(La da da....)
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
But the (memory remains)
Yeah!
