Van Morrison — 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 You drank some darkness, didn't ya? You drank some darkness, didn't ya? Against the light within you Against the light within you You drank some darkness, didn't ya? You drank some darkness, didn't ya? 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 breakin' down Can't get control When every clown wants to take you down, yeah You drank some darkness, didn't ya? You drank some darkness, didn't ya? Against the light within you Against the love within you You drank some darkness, didn't ya? You drank some darkness, didn't ya? 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 breakin' down You try to get control But every clown wants to take you down, 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 Got to stop breakin' 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 Got to stop breakin' down Got to stop breakin' down Got to stop breakin' down Got to stop breakin' down Got to stop breakin' down Got to stop breakin' down Got to stop breakin' down In Hollywood Town
