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 honour
Like twisted vines that grow, that hide and swallow mansions whole
And 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 (sane)
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
Dance little tin goddess
(humming by Marianne Faithfull)
Drift away
Fade away
Little tin goddess
Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane (sane)
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane, but the memory remains
Ash to ash
Dust to dust
