Song lyrics

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,
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

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 memories remain, yeah
To this faded prima donna
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Dance, little tin goddess, dance
Say yes - at least say hello
