Van Morrison - Fame Will Eat the Soul lyrics

[Van Morrison - Fame Will Eat the Soul lyrics]

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
