Metallica - Memory Remains lyrics

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

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...

Fortune, fame

Mirror vain

Gone insane

Dance little tin goddess

Da, da da da, da da da

Da da da da

(etc...)

Drift away

Fade away

Little tin goddess

Ash to ash

Dust to dust

Fade to black

Fortune, fame

Mirror, vain

Gone insane...

Fortune, fame

Mirror vain

Gone insane

But the memory remains

Ash to ash

Dust to dust

Fade to black

The memory remains, yeah

To this faded prima donna

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Dance little tin goddess dance

Da, da da da, da da da

Da da da da

(etc...)

Da, da da da, da da da

Da da da da

(etc...)

Da da da da (say yes)

Da, da da da, da da da (at least say hello)

Da da da da da (say yes)

Da, da da da, da da da (at least say hello)

Da da da da
