The Memory Remains

Heavy rings on fingers wave
Another star denies the grave
See the nowhere crowd, cry the nowhere cheers of honor
Like twisted vines that grow
Hide and swallow mansions whole
Dim the light of an already faded primadonna

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

La, da-da-da, da, da-da, da
La, da-da-da, da, da-da, da
La, da-da-da, da, da-da, da
La, da-da-da, da, 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
But the memory remains
To this faded primadonna

Dance little tin goddess dance

La, da-da-da, da, da-da, da
La, da-da-da, da, da-da, da
La, da-da-da, da, da-da, da
La, da-da-da, da, da-da, da
La, da-da-da, da, da-da, da
La, da-da-da, da, da-da, da
La, da-da-da, da, da-da, da
La, da-da-da, da, da-da, da
