Fame Will Eat the Soul
Fame will eat the soul
And you just can't fake it
Fame will eat the soul
And your heart will break
Fame will eat the soul
'Til you just can't take it no more
It doesn't have no meaning
When you're out on the street
Everyone you see
Is just trying to compete
And you're just trying to act
Like a normal Joe, yeah
Drank some darkness, didn't you?
Drank some darkness, didn't you?
Against the light within you
Against the light within you
Drank some darkness, didn't you?
Drank some darkness, didn't you?
Can't get back on the right track
Fame will eat the soul
Down in Hollywood Town
Things are goin' swell
Then you'll start breakin' down
Can't get control
When every clown wants to take you down, yeah, yeah
Alright, alright, alright
You drank some darkness, didn't you?
You drank some darkness, didn't you?
Against the light within you
Against the love within you
You drank some darkness, didn't you?
You drank some darkness, didn't you?
Can't get back on the right track
Fame will eat the soul
Down in Hollywood Town
Things are goin' swell
And you'll start to break down
You try to get control
Every clown wants to take you down
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Fame will eat the soul
Got to stay in your mansion
Fame will eat the soul
You can't take any chances
Even when you're outside
Have to build a wall around you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Got to stop breakin' down
Down, down, down, down, down, down
Fame will eat the soul
'Til you just can't fake it
Fame will eat the soul
And your heart's gonna break
Fame will eat the soul
'Til you just can't take it no more, take it no more
Stop breakin' down
Stop breakin' down
Oh stop, stop breakin' down
Stop breakin' down, baby
On the chilling floors
Different town
All the chilling floors
Stop breakin' down
Stop breakin' down
Got to stop breakin' down
Stop breakin' down
You got to stop breakin' down
Got to stop breakin' down
In Hollywood Town
In Hollywood Town
Stop, stop breakin' down in Hollywood Town
Stop breakin' down
Stop breakin' down, baby
Stop, stop, stop
Stop, stop, stop
Stop, stop, stop
Stop, stop, stop

Stop breakin' down
Stop breakin' down
In Hollywood Town
Stop, stop, stop
Stop, stop
Oh stop breakin' down
Stop breakin' down
And you just can't fake it
Fame will eat the soul
And your heart will break
Fame will eat the soul
