Fame and fortune
How empty they can be
But when i hold you in my arms
That’s heaven to me
Who cares for fame and fortune
They’re only passing things
But the touch of your lips on mine
Makes me feel like a king
Your kind of love
Is a treasure i hold
It’s so much greater
Than silver or gold
I know that i have nothing
If you should go away
But to know that you love me
Brings fame and fortune my way

Fame and fortune
Facts of life
Most of what makes it this useless try
So change the angle of the battle plan
To hit the target
Fame and fortune fancy that
Nothing but rabbits coming outta the hat
So try and catch a falling star
Crush it to dust and stuck it down a jar
And throw it far away
Now the void is back to front
See through people
See through monuments
No reply
The beginning, happy ending
The beginning, happy ending
The beginning, happy ending (one goes up, one goes down)
The beginning, happy ending (one goes up, one goes down)
Smash your face against the wall
Blinded, facing to the ground no no
Pretty faces on the wall
We fall
Piece a point disappear in the sky
Slack the ashes and make you do it right
Pretty faces on the wall Oh no no no
Fame and fortune is a stupid game and
Fame and fortune is the game i play
Fame and fortune is a stupid game and
Fame and fortune is the game i play
Fame and fortune is a stupid game and
Fame and fortune is the game i play
Fame and fortune is a stupid game and
Fame and fortune is the game i play
I’ll play forever
Sittin’ in the back of a limousine, feelin’ just like a king
All the girls come runnin’ to you, you’re the latest thing
Sittin’ up there at the top of the charts, lookin’ like mr. cool
You take all the money, steal their hearts, they’ll come runnin’ to you
Your fame and your fortune, look what it brought you
All your fame and your fortune, you better take a look around
With your fame and your fortune, careful who you talk to
Or the fame and your fortune, watch it all tumble down, yeah, oh listen now
Now you’re lookin’ for inspiration, somethin’ to say
When you find that it don’t come easy, you find them running away
You had it all in the palm of your hand, and let it slip away
You made it big, ooh so big, and then you threw it all away
All your fame and your fortune, look what it brought you
Fame and your fortune, hey you better take another look
At your fame and your fortune, it set you up, then it caught you
Fame and your fortune, surely gonna let you down, hey tell me now
(solo)
All your fame and your fortune, look what it brought you
Take your fame and your fortune, wait and take a look around
For your fame and your fortune, who do you talk to
‘bout your fame and your fortune, as it all comes tumbling down
Fame and your fortune, fame and your fortune, yes all come tumbling down
Fame and your fortune, fame and your fortune, all comes tumbling down…
