Breaks like glass

But not in your hand

They'll shoot you down

Right where you stand

And it don't care for what you wear

Or which way you might sway

It calls you up

But not on the phone

And they will drag you from your throne



And you may laugh while you sit there

Sipping your champagne

And they all laugh at your despair

Sniffing your cocaine

I'm a man of choice in an old Rolls Royce

And I'm howling at the moon

Is my happening to deafening

For you?

For you?



It's maybe The Fame

It's walked out on your name

It's sees you crying

Never did explain

Am I the name

Blowing through you

Like a hurricane



It's a shame

It's a shame

It's a shame



It will not fall

Not from the sky

And it don't eat no humble pie

And you may have your quiet life

But I bet you don't know why

It makes you a mess

You didn't believe

You still don't know what makes me breathe



And you may laugh while sitting there

Sipping your champagne

And they all laugh at your despair

Sniffing your cocaine

I'm a man of choice in an old Rolls Royce

And I'm howling at the moon

Is this happening to deafening

For you?

For you?



It's maybe The Fame

It's walked out on your name

It's sees you crying

Never did explain

Am I the name

Blowing through you

Like a hurricane



It's a shame

It's a shame

It's a shame



It's maybe The Fame

It's walked out on your name

It's sees you crying

Never did explain

Am I the name

Blowing through you

Like a hurricane



And I've walked out on your name

It sees you cry

Up from the sky

You never did explain

Why I'm still

Blowing through you

Like a hurricane
