Lyrics

Fame Is

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Fork lightning in your hall

Break the skin when you break the fall

I'll be the one to fix it up

Love children of the new age

Just a hippy with a weekly wage

There's no rebellion just a chance to be lazy

When fame is in your blood

You follow the science of love

Wave the magic wand

And hang on

Now the rest of us are living in a daze

Keep thinkin' 'bout the choice to be made

Here come the handmaidens of end time

Lost treasure from a primitive race

All the lives written on your face

Can't fill the canyons of yor mind

When fame is in your blood

You follow the science of love

Wave the magic wand

And hang on

Now you've changed

And jumbled the pieces you've changed

You're better before you talked

To a roomful of strangers

Here come the handmaidens of end time

When fame is in your blood

You follow the science of love

Wave the magic wand

All of your stars will fall

And all of your spells will break

So look out for number one

Fame is in your blood
