The Memory Remains [Romanian translation]

Fortune, fame

Mirror vain

Gone insane

But the memory remains

Heavy rings on fingers wave

Another star denies their grave

See the nowhere crowd

Cry the nowhere tears of honor

Like twisted vines that grow

That 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

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

Faded prima donna

Ah, suck it!

Dance little tin goddess dance

say yes, at least say hello

say yes, at least say hello
