I met her a long long time agoA girl named Fame
After a show
She asked me for a ride
Quickly I replied
'Take me anywhere you wanna go'
(somewhere downtown I dunno?!?)
Ooooh a little peculiar the way
that she talked about
street signs and Freedom
CHORUS
And now I can't forget her way
She was as strange as pretty
A girl named Fame
An eccentric version of John Wayne
She was as tough as nails but then
as soft as rain a girl named Fame
She rolled down the window
lit a cigarette
The cancer filled her up without regret
She says she's 21,
but I don't think that's true
Maybe 42 or 37
Ooooh and then she proceeded
to yell out the window
at St. John's Cathedral
CHORUS
Ooooh and she's
so enlightened
an angel make-up
a Buddha in blue jeans
CHORUS
