THE MEMORY REMAINS
 
     Fortune, fame
     Mirror vain
     Gone insane
     But the memory remains

     Heavy rings on fingers wave
     Another star denies the 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
     But the memory remains
     Yeah
     To this faded prima donna
     Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

     Dance little tin goddess dance

THE UNFORGIVEN II

     Lay beside me, tell me what they've done
     Speak the words I wanna hear, to make my demons run
     The door is locked now, but it's open if you're true
     If you can understand the me, than I can understand the you

     Lay beside me, under wicked sky
     The black of day, dark of night, we share this paralyze
     The door cracks open, but there's no sun shining through
     Black hearts scarring darkness still, but there's no sun shining through
     No, there's no sun shining through
     No, there's no sun shining

     What I've felt, what I've known
     Turn the pages, turn the stone
     Behind the door
     Should I open it for you?

     Yeah, what I've felt, what I've known
     Sick and tired, I stand alone
     Could you be there, 'cause I'm the one who waits for you
     Or are you unforgiven too?

     Come lay beside me, this won't hurt, I swear
     She loves me not, she loves me still, but she'll never love again
     She lay beside me, but she'll be there when I'm gone
     Black heart scarring darker steel, yes, she'll be there when I'm gone
     Yes, she'll be there when I'm gone
     Dead sure she'll be there

     What I've felt, what I've known
     Turn the pages, turn the stone
     Behind the door
     Should I open it for you?

     Yeah, what I've felt, what I've known
     Sick and tired, I stand alone
     Could you be there, 'cause I'm the one who waits for you
     Or are you unforgiven too?

     Lay beside me, tell me what I've done
     The door is closed, so are your eyes
     But now I see the sun, now I see the sun
     Yes, now I see it

     What I've felt, what I've known
     Turn the pages, turn the stone
     Behind the door
     Should I open it for you?

     Yeah, what I've felt, what I've known
     So sick and tired, I stand alone
     Could you be there, 'cause I'm the one who waits
     The one who waits for you

     Oh, what I've felt, what I've known
     Turn the pages, turn the stone
     Behind the door
     Should I open it for you?
     So I dub thee unforgiven

     Oh, what I've felt
     Oh, what I've known

     I take this key
     And I bury it in you
     Because you're unforgiven too

     Never free
     Never me
     'cause you're unforgiven too
     Oh
