Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Fame makes a man take things over
Fame lets him loose and hard to swallow
Fame put you there where things are hollow
Fame
[Verse 2]
Fame, not your brain, it's just a flame
Burns your change to keep you insane
Fame
[Verse 3]
Fame, what you like is in the limo
Fame, what you get is no tomorrow
Fame, what you need you have to borrow
Fame
[Verse 4]
Fame, "Nein! It's mine" is just his line
To bind your time and drive you to crime
Fame
[Verse 5]
Is it any wonder I reject you first?
Is it any wonder you're too cool to fool?
Fame, bully for you, chilly for me
Gotta get a rain check on pain
Fame
[Verse 6]
Fame, fame, fame...
[Verse 7]
What's your name?
What a game
What a shame
Written by: Carlos Alomar, David Bowie, John Lennon
