Metallica - The Memory Remains lyrics

Fortune, fame
Mirror vain, gone insane
But the memory remains

Heavy rings on fingers wave
Another star denies their grave
See the nowhere crowd cry
The nowhere tears of honor
Like twisted vines that grow
Hide and swallow mansions whole
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
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
Insane
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain, gone insane
But the memory remains

Ash to ash [2x]
Dust to dust [2x]
Fade to black [2x]
The memory remains
To this faded prima donna

Dance little tin Goddess, dance

Say yes, at least say hello [2x]
