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 cheers of honor

Like twisted vines that grow, hide and swallow mansions whole

And dim the 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, but the memory remains!, yeah

To this faded prima donna, yeah...

Dance, little tin goddess, dance
