The Backyard Of My Life
Fame (The Mask)
Fame is a mask that will
Eat at your face
Champagne and cocaine
Dressed in satin and lace
Wont wait for no one
To try and give chase
Blood on the tracks the night is long
The life you once knew has been and gone
Poison paparazzi photograph the pain
Naked under the microscope left with no shame
Raped by society pumped full of booze
Let the world watch your nightmare
Its front page news
No longer invisible everyone can see
Your latest mistake is on TV
Circled in spotlight a lonely throne
Dance to the tune of the devils horn
Bamboozled by bastards and bitches
With glamour and glitz
Fake plastic people who all need a fix
Blinded by desire sinking like a stone
Its a long way down and you can never go home
Shes a star fame is her crown
Burned out and broken with the tears of a clown
In a million dollar mansion
With no real friends
Down and defeated as each day ends
When you play with fire you will burn
Theres no way back theres no return
From fame
