Fleeting Fame

| [Verse 1] Mum said it’s funny How the world spins 'round One day you’re a name The next you’re drowned In faces In places Where they don’t recall You were the headline Now you're nothing at all [Chorus] Famous Famous It’s a fleeting flame Burns like a matchstick Then snuffs just the same Famous Famous It don’t last too long One day you’re the chorus The next you’re the song [Verse 2] Saw my face on a poster Glued to a wall Next week it was peeling Like it’d never stood tall The radio played me But now I’m a hum Echoes in a hallway where the crowd’s gone numb [Chorus] Famous Famous It’s a fleeting flame Burns like a matchstick Then snuffs just the same Famous Famous It don’t last too long One day you’re the chorus The next you’re the song [Bridge] Do they love what you’re singing Or just how you shine? Do they cheer for the moment Or the shape of the line? I don’t need the spotlight It’s a weight I can’t bear I’ll sing for the shadows If the shadows care [Chorus] Famous Famous It’s a fleeting flame Burns like a matchstick Then snuffs just the same Famous Famous It don’t last too long One day you’re the chorus The next you’re the song |
