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 cheers 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



(Marianne Faithfull does some nanana)



Drift away

Fade away

Little tin goddess



Ash to ash

Dust to dust

Fade to black



Fortune, fam

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

Faded prima donna

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah



Dance little tin goddess dance



(Marianne Faithfull does some nanana)
