The Memory Remains (Live at The Ministry of Sound, London, England – November 13th, 1997) Lyrics
[Intro]
Alright, we’re gonna play something off of “Reload”, fuck it!
[Chorus 1]
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
But the memory remains
[Verse 1]
Heavy rings on fingers wave
Another star denies the grave
See the nowhere crowd, cry the nowhere cheers of honor
[Verse 2]
Like twisted vines that grow
Hide and swallow mansions whole
Dim the light of an already faded primadonna
[Chorus 2]
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
But the mеmory remains
[Verse 3]
Heavy rings hold cigarettеs
Up to lips that time forgets
While the Hollywood sun sets behind your back
[Verse 4]
And can’t the band play on?
Just listen, they play my song
Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black
[Chorus 3]
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
Dance little tin goddess
[Refrain: Crowd]
Da da da, da da da, da da da da
Da da da da, da da da, da da da-ah da-ah da
Da da da da, da da da, da da da da
Da da da da, da da da, da da da-ah da-ah da
[Bridge]
Drift away
Fade away
Little tin goddess
Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black
[Chorus 4]
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
But the memory remains
[Bridge]
Ash to ash (Ash to ash)
Dust to dust (Dust to dust)
Fade to black (Fade to black)
The memory remains
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah
Like a faded primadonna, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
Dance little tin goddess dance
[Refrain: Crowd]
Da da da da, da da da, da da da da
Da da da da, da da, da da da-ah da-ah da
Da da da da, da da, da da da da
Da da da da, da da, da da da-ah da-ah da
[Outro: Crowd]
Da da da da, da da da, da da da da
Da da da da, da da da, da da-ah da-ah da
Da da da da, da da da, da da da da
Da da da da, da da da, da da-ah da-ah da
