Metallica - The Memory Remains Lyrics

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 (insane)
Fortune, fame mirror vain gone insane
Dance little tin goddess

(Na ra ra na da da da) na na da

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 dust to dust fade to black
The memories remain yeah
To this faded prima donna yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Dance little tin goddess dance

(Na ra ra na da da da) na na da
(Say yes, at least say hello) (na ra ra na da da da) na na da
(Say yes, at least say hello) (na ra ra na da da da) na na da
