The Fame

[Verse 1]

Breaks like glass but not in your hand

Shoot you down right where you stand

And it don't care for what you wear

Or which way you might sway

It calls you up but not on the phone

And it will drag you from your throne

[Pre-Chorus]

And you may laugh while you sit there

Sipping your champagne

And they all laugh at your despair

Sniffing your cocaine

I'm a man of choice in an old Rolls Royce

And I'm howling at the moon

Is my happening too deafening

For you? For you?

[Chorus]

It's maybe the fame

It's forgotten your name

It's sees you cry

You never did explain

And I remain

Blowing through you

Like a hurricane

[Post-Chorus]

It's a shame

It's a shame

It's a shame

[Verse 2]

It will not fall, not from the sky

And it don't eat no humble pie

And you may have your quiet life

But I bet you don't know why

It made you a mess, that didn't believe

You still don't know what makes me breathe

[Pre-Chorus]

And you may laugh while you sit there

Sipping your champagne

And they all laugh at your despair

While you're sniffing your cocaine

I'm a man of choice in an old Rolls Royce

And I'm howling at the moon

Is this happening too deafening

For you? For you?

[Chorus]

It's maybe the fame

Forgotten your name

It's sees you cry

You never did explain

And I remain

Blowing through you

Like a hurricane

[Post-Chorus]

It's a shame

It's a shame

It's a shame

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

It's maybe the fame

Forgotten your name

It's sees you cry

You never did explain

And I remain

Blowing through you

Like a hurricane

And I've forgotten your name

[Outro]

It sees you cry

Fall from the sky

You never did explain

Why I'm still

Blowing through you

Like a hurricane
