The Fame Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was sitting outside, it was really dark out
The sky was beautiful
I could see all the stars, way up high
The stars were so pretty, I couldn't look away
Got the urge to leave but the world said stay
They're waiting for me, but I just don't care
Look at the world and how it's so unfair
Stargazing cum
Stargazing cum
It was getting late now, maybe I should go
But you look so beautiful
I could see your tears, when you cry
Stargazing cum
Stargazing cum
The stars were so pretty, I couldn't look away
Got the urge to leave but the world said stay




They're waiting for me, but I just don't care
Stargazing cum

I can't help myself
I'm addicted to a life of material
It's some kind of joke
I'm obsessively opposed to the typical
All we care about is
Runway models, Cadillacs and liquor bottles
Give me something, I wanna be
Retro glamour, Hollywood, yes, we live for the
Fame (fame)
Doin' it for the fame (fame)
'Cause we wanna live the life of the rich and famous
Fame (fame)
Doin' it for the fame (fame)
'Cause we got a taste for champagne and endless fortune
Fame, fame, baby, the fame, fame
We live for the fame, fame, baby, the fame, fame
Isn't it a shame, shame, baby? A shame, shame
In it for the fame, fame, baby, the fame, fame
I can see myself
In the movies with my picture in city lights
Photograph my mind
And whatever else you'd like to shoot, you decide
All we care about is
Pornographic girls on film and body plastic
Give me something I wanna see
Television, and hot blondes in odd positions
Fame (fame)
Doin' it for the fame (fame)
'Cause we wanna live the life of the rich and famous
Fame (fame)
Doin' it for the fame (fame)

We live for the fame, fame, baby, the fame, fame
Isn't it a shame, shame, baby? A shame, shame
In it for the fame, fame, baby, the fame, fame
Don't ask me how or why (or why)
But I'm gonna make it happen this time
My teenage dream tonight (tonight)
Yeah, I'm gonna make it happen this time (this time)
Fame
