The Memory Remains            
             
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 
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 

Nananananana nananada nananananana nanananadana 
Nananananana nananada nananananana nanananadana 

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 

Nananananana nananada nanananana nanananadana 
Nananananana nananada nanananana nanananadana 
Rararararara rararara rarararara dararararara (Say yes - at least say hello) 
Rararararara rararara rarararara dararararara (Say yes - at least say hello) 
Rararararara rararara rarararara
