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
in 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
"ya ya" part
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...
but the memory remains
yeah
faded prima donna yeah, yeah
(solo)
dance little tin goddess dance
"ya ya" part

The outlaw torn (unencumbered by manufacturing restrictions version) |
you know i wait my whole lifetime for you
i ride the dirt i ride the tide for you
i search the outside search inside for you
to take back what you left me
i know i'll always burn to be
no one seeks so i may find
and now i wait my whole lifetime
my whole lifetime
so on i wait my whole lifetime for you
so on i wait my whole lifetime for you
the more i search the more my need for you
the more i blast the more i bleed for you
you make me smash the clock and feel
i'd rather die behind the wheel
time was never on my side
so on i wait my whole lifetime
my whole lifetime
and i'm torn
and if i close my mind in fear
please pry it open
and if my face becomes sincere
beware
and when i start to come undone
stitch me together
and when you see me stretched remind me of what left this outlaw torn
and if i close my mind in fear
please pry it open
and if my face becomes sincere
beware
and when i start to come undone
stitch me together
and when you see me stretched remind me of what left this outlaw torn

King nothing (tepid mix) |
wish i may
wish i might
have this i wish tonight
are you satisfied?
dig for gold
dig for fame
you dig to make your name
are you pacified?
all the wants you waste
all the things you've chased
then it all crashes down
and you break your crown
and you point your finger, but there's no one around
just want one thing
just to play the king
but the castle's crumbled and you're left with just a name
where's your crown, king nothing?
where's your crown?
hot and cold
bought and sold
a heart as hard as gold
yeah! are you satisfied?
wish i might, wish i may
you wish your life away
are you pacified?
all the wants you waste
all the things you've chased
then it all crashes down
and you break your crown
and you point your finger, but there's no one around
just want one thing
just to play the king
but the castle's crumbled and you're left with just a name
where's your crown, king nothing?
where's your crown?
huh!
(spoken)
wish i may, wish i might
have this wish, i wish tonight
i want that star, i want it now
i want it all and i don't care how
care for what you wish
care for what you say
care for what you wish you may regret it
care for what you wish you just might get it
then it all crashes down
and you break your crown
and you point your finger, but there's no one around
just want one thing
just to play the king
but the castle's crumbled and you're left with just a name
where's your crown, king nothing?
where's your crown?
oh, you're just nothing
where's your crown king nothing?
oh, you're just nothing
absolutely nothing
off to never, never land
