Lyrics 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 till you just can’t take it no more

It doesn’t have no meaning when you’re out on the street

Drank some darkness, didn’t you?
Drank some darkness, didn’t you?
Against the light within you
Against the light within you
Drank some darkness, didn’t you?
Drank some darkness, didn’t you?
Can’t get back on the right track

Fame will eat the soul down in Hollywood Town
Things are goin’ swell then you start breakin’ down
Can’t get control when every clown wants to take you down

You drank some darkness, didn’t you?
You drank some darkness, didn’t you?
Against the light within you
Against the love within you
You drank some darkness, didn’t you?
You drank some darkness, didn’t you?
Can’t get back on the right track

Fame will eat the soul down in Hollywood Town
Things are goin’ swell then you start to break down
You try to keep control, every clown wants to take you down

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
