It breaks like glass 
 But not in your hand 
 Shoots you down 
 Right where you stand 
 And it don't care for what you wear 
 Or which way you might sway 
 Its calls you up 
 But not on the phone 
 And it will drag you from your throne 

 And you may laugh while you sit there 
 Sipping your champagne 
 And may I laugh at your despair 
 Sniffing your cocaine 
 I'm a man of choice in an old Rolls Royce 
 And I'm howling at the moon 
 Is my happening to deafening 
 For you? 
 For you? 

 It's maybe The Fame 
 It's forgotten your name
 The tears you cry 
 You never did explain 
 And I remain
 Blowing through you 
 Like a hurricane 

 It's a shame 
 It's a shame 
 It's a shame 

 It will not fall 
 Not from the sky 
 And it don't eat no humble pie 
 And you may have your quiet life 
 But I bet you don't know why 
 It made you a mess 
 You didn't believe 
 You still don't know what makes me breathe 

 And you may laugh while you sit there 
 Sipping your champagne 
 And may I laugh at your despair 
 while you're sniffing your cocaine 
 I'm a man of choice in an old Rolls Royce 
 And I'm howling at the moon 
 Is this happening to deafening 
 For you? 
 For you? 

 It's maybe The Fame 
 Forgotten your name 
 The tears you cry 
 You never did explain 
 And I remain
 Blowing through you 
 Like a hurricane 

 It's a shame 
 It's a shame 
 It's a shame 

 It's maybe The Fame 
 Forgotten your name 
 The tears you cry
 You never did explain 
 And I remain
 Blowing through you 
 Like a hurricane 

 And I've forgotten your name
 The tears you cry fall from the sky
 You never did explain
 Why I'm still blowing through you
 Like a hurricane
