Lyrics for Fame

Fame makes a man take things over. Fame lets him loose, hard to swallow. Fame puts you there where things are hollow. Fame. Fame, it's not your brain, it's just the flame That burns your change to keep you insane. Fame. Fame, what you like is in the limo. Fame, what you get is no tomorrow. Fame, what you need you have to borrow. Fame. Fame, it's mine, it's mine, it's just his line To bind your time, it drives you to crime. Fame. Is it any wonder I reject you first? Fame, fame, fame, fame. Is it any wonder you are too cool to fool? Fame. Fame, bully for you, chilly for me, Got to get a rain check on pain. Fame. Fame, fame, Fame, fame, Fame, fame, fame, Fame, fame, fame, fame, Fame, fame, fame, fame, Fame, fame, fame, Fame, what's your name?
