Lyrics:
I can't help myself
I'm addicted to a life of material
It's some kind of joke
I'm obsessively opposed to the typical
All we care about is
Runway models, Cadillacs and liquor bottles
Give me something, I wanna be
Retro glamour, Hollywood, yes, we live for the
Fame (fame)
Doin' it for the fame (fame)
'Cause we wanna live the life of the rich and famous
Fame (fame)
Doin' it for the fame (fame)
'Cause we got a taste for champagne and endless fortune
Fame, fame, baby, the fame, fame
We live for the fame, fame, baby, the fame, fame
Isn't it a shame, shame, baby?
I can't help myself
I'm addicted to a life of material
It's some kind of joke
I'm obsessively opposed to the typical
All we care about is
Runway models, Cadillacs and liquor bottles
Give me something, I wanna be
Retro glamour, Hollywood, yes, we live for the
Fame (fame)
Doin' it for the fame (fame)
'Cause we wanna live the life of the rich and famous
Fame (fame)
Doin' it for the fame (fame)
'Cause we got a taste for champagne and endless fortune
Fame, fame, baby, the fame, fame
We live for the fame, fame, baby, the fame, fame
Isn't it a shame, shame, baby?
Doin' the love game
Let's play a love game, play a love game
Do you want love or you want fame?
Are you in the game? (Let's have some fun, this beat is sick)
Doin' the love game (I wanna take a ride on your disco stick)
Let's play a love game, play a love game
Do you want love or you want fame?
Rain, he wanted it comfortable
I wanted that pain
He wanted a bride
I was making my own name
Chasing that fame
He stayed the same
All of me changed like midnight
My town was a wasteland
Full of cages, full of fences
Pageant queens and big pretenders
But for some it was paradise
My boy was a montage
A slow-motion love potion
Jumping off things in the ocean
I broke his heart 'cause he was nice
He was sunshine, I was midnight
Rain, he wanted it comfortable
I wanted that pain
He wanted a bride
I was making my own name
Chasing that fame
He stayed the same
All of me changed like midnight
It came like a postcard
Picture perfect, shiny family
Holiday peppermint candy
But for him it's every day
So I peered through a window
A deep portal, time travel
All the love we unraveled
And the life I gave away
'Cause he was sunshine, I was midnight
Rain, he wanted it comfortable
I wanted that pain
He wanted a bride
I was making my own name
Chasing that fame
He stayed the same
All of me changed like midnight
Rain, he wanted it comfortable
I wanted that pain
He wanted a bride
I was making my own name
Chasing that fame
He stayed the same
All of me changed like midnight
I guess sometimes we all get
Just what we wanted, just what we wanted
And he never thinks of me
Except when I'm on TV
I guess sometimes we all get
Some kind of haunted, some kind of haunted
And I never think of him
Except on midnights like this
(Midnight's like this, midnight's like this)
Could it, babe?
Is it any wonder I reject you first?
Fame, fame, fame, fame
Is it any wonder you're all too cool to fool?
Fame (fame)
Fame, bully for you, chilly for me
Gotta get a rain check on fame (fame)
Fame
Fame, fame, fame, fame
Fame, fame, fame, fame
Fame, fame, fame, fame
Fame, fame, fame, fame
Fame, fame, fame, fame
Fame, fame, fame, fame
Fame, what's your name?
Doin' the love game
Let's play a love game, play a love game
Do you want love or you want fame?
Are you in the game? (Let's have some fun, this beat is sick)
Doin' the love game (I wanna take a ride on your disco stick)
Let's play a love game, play a love game
Do you want love or you want fame?
I feel their envious looks at me
Their mistaken jealousy
And then stand here in my shoes
And get a taste of my blues
It's the price of fame
You pay the price of fame, so don't you ever complain
It's the price of fame
You pay the price of fame
So don't be feelin' this way
It's the price of fame
You pay the price of fame, so don't you ever complain
It's the price of fame, you pay the price of fame
My father never lies (price of fame)
My father never lies, baby
My father never lies (price of fame)
So don't be feelin' no pain, boy
Could it, babe?
Is it any wonder I reject you first?
Fame, fame, fame, fame
Is it any wonder you're all too cool to fool?
Fame (fame)
Fame, bully for you, chilly for me
Gotta get a rain check on fame (fame)
Fame
Fame, fame, fame, fame
Fame, fame, fame, fame
Fame, fame, fame, fame
Fame, fame, fame, fame
Fame, fame, fame, fame
Fame, fame, fame, fame
Fame, what's your name?
Really, really?
Is it any wonder I reject you first?
Fame, fame, fame, fame
Is it any wonder you are too cool to fool
Fame
Fame-f-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, fame
Fame, fame, fame
Fame
What's your name?
Fame and fortune
How empty they can be
But when I hold you in my arms
That's heaven to me
Who cares for fame and fortune?
She ain't in it for the fame (for the fame)
For the fame (for the fame)
For the fame (for the fame)
She ain't in it for the fame
For the fame, for the fame
She said that she ain't in it for the fame (for the fame)
For the fame (for the fame)
For the fame (for the fame)
She said that she ain't in it for the fame
Uh, please no intro
Tyga she already know
Come and spend the night with me
And tell me what you into, uh
Can I take you home?
Just a kid with a song when he wandered from home
In search of the phantom of fame
She promised she'd wait but he got back too late
Just a scene from the dark side of fame
In the wrong frame of mind he took to the wine
Holding pieces of love's broken chain
It was colder than jade in this world that he'd made
All alone on the dark side of fame
His songs were soon curled on the lips of the world
They earned him the highest of claim
And yet his greatest desire was the simple warmth of love's fire
Cause it's cold on the dark side of fame
The wine took its toll and soon he grew old much younger than most people do
But there's no trace of shame in the sound of his name
Though he lived on the dark side of fame he lived on the dark side of fame
Into my big mouth you could fly a plane
I'll put on my shoes while they're walking slowly down the hall of fame
Slowly down the hall of fame (fame, fame)
Slowly down the hall of fame (fame, fame)
And round this town, you've ceased to be
That's what you get for sleeping with the enemy
Where angels fly you won't play
I guess who's going to take the blame
For my big mouth, my big name
I'll put on my shoes while I'm walking slowly down the hall of fame
Into my big mouth, yeah you could fly a plane
I'll put on my shoes while I'm walking
Slowly down the hall of fame (fame, fame)
Slowly down the hall of fame (fame, fame)
Slowly down the hall of fame (fame, fame)
Into my big mouth you could fly a plane
I'll put on my shoes while they're walking slowly down the hall of fame
Slowly down the hall of fame (fame, fame)
Slowly down the hall of fame (fame, fame)
And round this town, you've ceased to be
That's what you get for sleeping with the enemy
Where angels fly you won't play
I guess who's going to take the blame
For my big mouth, my big name
I'll put on my shoes while I'm walking slowly down the hall of fame
Into my big mouth, yeah you could fly a plane
I'll put on my shoes while I'm walking
Slowly down the hall of fame (fame, fame)
Slowly down the hall of fame (fame, fame)
Slowly down the hall of fame (fame, fame)
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?
Well if I live to be a hundred, I won't forget the day
I broke the heart you gave me and let you walk away
That's when they hung my name in the fool's hall of fame
Ah baby since we've been apart, I can't console my heart
It cries and cries all night long
Can't I ever make you see this change you've made in me
Just give me a chance to tell you I was wrong
Yes they say that you'll forgive me and end this misery
You know I'll keep on a beggin till you come back to me
Don't leave me here in chains in the fool's hall of fame
Ah baby since we've been apart I can't console my heart
It cries and cries all night long
Baby can't you ever see the change you've made in me
Just give me a chance to tell you I was wrong
Yes they say that you'll forgive me and end this misery
You know I'll keep on beggin till you come back to me
Don't leave me here in chains in the fool's hall of fame
Don't leave me here in chains in the fool's hall of fame
Folks back home think I'm a star now
When they hear my records play
They say their home town girl made good
And she'd go a long long way
Mom wonders why I don't drive back
In that big fine car I own
The truth is I don't have a car
And I'm ashamed to go back home
A pair of false eye lashes
And a tube of cheap lipstick
A pair of worn out high heel shoes
And a dress that doesn't fit
These are all my possessions
All I have to my name
And a record played in my home town
Is my only claim to fame
I'm so glad that dad can't see me now
His favorite little girl
Singing in this dingy place
On the wrong side of the world
And I'm glad that I can't see the boy
That offered me his name
For I was blind and turned from him
In this empty search for fame
A pair of false eye lashes
And a tube of cheap lipstick
A pair of worn out high heel shoes
And a dress that doesn't fit
These are all of my possessions
All I have to my name
And a record played in my home town
Is my only claim to fame
Yes, a record played in my home town
Is my only claim to fame
Take a look overhead
Hey, there
There goes the Spider-Man
In the chill of night
At the scene of a crime
Like a streak of light
He arrives just in time
Spider-Man, Spider-Man
Friendly neighborhood Spider-Man
Wealth and fame
He's ignored
Action is his reward
Look out
Here comes the Spider-Man
Spider-Man, Spider-Man
Friendly neighborhood Spider-Man
Wealth and fame
He's ignored
Action is his reward
Look out
Here comes the Spider-Man
In the chill of night
At the scene of a crime
Like a streak of light
He arrives just in time
Spider-Man, Spider-Man
Does whatever a spider can
Spins a web, any size
Catches thieves just like flies
Look out
Here comes the Spider-Man
Spider-Man, Spider-Man
Friendly neighborhood Spider-Man
Wealth and fame
He's ignored
Action is his reward
Look out
Here comes the Spider-Man
"It's dark but just a game"
That's what he would say to me
The faces aren't the same
But their stories all end tragically
Sweet, what-whatever, baby
And that's the price of fame
A tale as old as time, you'd be
Sweet, what-whatever, baby
A pretty little fool
To think exceptions to the rule
Just walk around
Like you and me this way
But life is sweet, what-whatever, baby
You gotta take them for what they've got
And while the whole world is crazy
We're getting high in the parking lot
We keep changing all the time
The best ones lost their minds
So I'm not gonna change
I'll stay the same
No rose left on the vines
Don't even want what's mine
Much less the fame
It's dark but just a game
It's dark but just a game
It's dark but just a game
So play it like a symphony
You know our love's the same
They'll both go down in infamy
I was a pretty little thing
Ain't got a lot to sing, but
Nothing came for me either one but pain
But fuck it
Life is sweet, what-whatever, baby
Don't ever think it's not
While the whole world is crazy
We're making out in the parking lot
We keep changing all the time
The best ones lost their minds
So I'm not gonna change
I'll stay the same
No rose left on the vines
Don't even want what's mine
Much less the fame
It's dark but just a game
We keep changing all the time
The best ones lost their minds
So I'm not gonna change
I'll stay the same
No rose left on the vines
Don't even want what's mine
Much less the fame
It's dark but just a game
It's dark but just a game
It's dark but just
Watch children cry
The pageant sells the lie
Third place isn't winning, you know
And neither is first
The pressure and the thirst
For the skeleton's show
I am so thin skinned
Don't scratch the surface
Please let me live within
Within this circus
Little dreams come crashing
Let them wave in passing
'Cause fame won't love you like a mother, like a father should
And you may wish for Oscars, Grammys and blockbusters
Fame won't love you like a brother, like a lover should
Oh, no, no, fame won't love you like a mother, like a father should
Whoa-oh-oh, ohh-oh, fame won't love you like a mother, like a father should
I searched in your eyes for some glimmer of light
Tap dancing for one million miles
I looked for the smiles
Hoping in them I'd find validation for my futile existence
I am so thin skinned
Don't scratch the surface
Please let me live within
Within this circus
Little dreams come crashing
Let them wave in passing
'Cause fame won't love you like a mother, like a father should
And you may wish for Oscars, Grammys and blockbusters
'Cause fame won't love you like a brother, like a lover should
No, no, fame won't love you like a mother, like a father should
No, no, fame won't love you like a mother, like a father should
No-oh-ohh, fame won't love you like a mother, like a father should
Whoa-oh-oh, ohh-oh, fame won't love you like a mother, like a father should
Whoa-oh-oh
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
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 (insane)
Fortune, fame mirror vain gone insane
Dance little tin goddess
(Na ra ra na da da da) na na da
Drift away fade away
Little tin goddess
Ash to ash dust to dust fade to black
Fortune, fame mirror vain gone insane (insane)
Fortune, fame mirror vain gone insane
But the memory remains
Ash to ash dust to dust fade to black
The memories remain yeah
To this faded prima donna yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Dance little tin goddess dance
(Na ra ra na da da da) na na da
(Say yes, at least say hello) (na ra ra na da da da) na na da
(Say yes, at least say hello) (na ra ra na da da da) na na da
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
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

And my niggas say
We want the fame
C'mon (C'mon)
One thing we all adore
Something worth dying for
Nothing but pain
Stuck in this game
Searching for fortune and fame
The one thing we all adore
Something worth dying for
It's been nothing but pain
Stuck in this game
Searching for fortune and fame
Though we exist and breathe some believe currency comes to G's
Stresses after battle with success comes greed (echo)
They got me hot When they shot me
Plotted my revenge
To increase my ends
Enemies gettin' dropped
Win or lose
Red or blue
We must all stay true
Play the game nigga
Never let the game play you
And for the fame
Niggas change fast
That's a shame
What's the game
Lost souls
Who controls our brain?
Seduced by fame
A moth into the flame
Addicted to the fame
