The Gild - For Fame Lyrics

Look at you staring down from your parapet
Chase the dragon go on twist the tourniquet
You got a feeling that you're gonna want a cigarette

Come on cut the bullshit, talking off my ear
Blending in to the crowd they won't find me here
This ain't what i deserve but this is what i get

I find you looking through a movie screen
Can't read the lines can't play the scenes
Just a used up prop on a movie set

You've thrown you life away
Today
For shame
Don't matter what they say
Its ok
It's for fame

The camera loves you making love to it
Even though you'll only tease it for a little bit
Gonna need a drink of water gonna need to sit

The script of life is written and your fate is cast
They'll never know you were a famous person in the past
This ain't what you deserve but its what you get

You've thrown you life away
Today
For shame
Don't matter what they say
Its ok
It's for fame
