Fame¡¦is it worth it?
|
Fame¡¦can you take it?
|
Fame¡¦are you ready?
|
Fame¡¦will you make it?
|
|
You were touched
|
With the gold
|
Of a warm summer morning
|
A symphony born in the sun
|
|
They loved you like pagans
|
And followed your climb
|
The strongest
|
Most beautiful one
|
|
You¡¯ve flown to the clouds
|
Where the air¡¯s very thin
|
And the word is out
|
All around town
|
|
They¡¯ve lined up for miles
|
With their holiday grins
|
They love to see
|
A winner go down
|
|
(Chorus)
|
Winner go down
|
Learning to lose
|
Lie in the gravel
|
Bathe in the blues
|
They¡¯ll run to the rooftops
|
Screaming the news
|
Winner go down
|
Winner go down
|
|
And now the arena
|
Is quiet and darkened
|
The crowd is covered in smiles
|
They¡¯re holding their breath
|
At the thought of the slaughter
|
But you sure kept ¡®em waiting awhile
|
|
They built up your legend
|
And danced in your light
|
¡®Til they longed
|
For the day to come ¡®round
|
When they¡¯d see you break down
|
And cry like a baby
|
They love to see a winner go down
|
|
Repeat Chorus
|
|
Fame¡¦is it worth it?
|
Fame¡¦can you take it?
|
Fame¡¦
|
|
The trial is over
|
The crowd has gone home
|
Yes, all their predictions came true
|
But even the thrill
|
Being there for the fall
|
It¡¯s just glory they borrowed from you
|
|
Repeat Chorus
|
I hate to see a winner go down¡¦
|
