Fame
(I wanna live forever)

fame fame
just what’s in a name?
is this lame?
or the way we’re taught the game?

the glamour! the glitz!
suck Me in deep.
the TV’s soft kiss,
can lull Me to sleep

but its not I-fault right?
its the way I’ve been groomed?
about the quality of life
if Me fame was ballooned

I could get in free
to anywhere I’d go
but if I had all that money
wouldn’t need it free, ya know?

if I was known, oh the girls I could take!
but wouldn’t the money and fame,
make them all seem so fake?

oh what to do, what to do
thats why it may not be for you
could it be for Me?
there’s things I doesn’t see

but I do know that when I’m dead
everyone will remember Me, right?
who won academy awards in 38 and 37?
did that help him,
when he reached the gates of heaven?

spencer tracy.
and in its own way it did.

and thats the point.
you might be famous now,
but who will remember in 100 years?

blues travel to sing me there
and I realize that its a voice.

its a group of individuals,
that you connect with in someway,

distracting

to help heal the quiet wounds
of life’s expectation
