Fame Is

Crowded House · Woodface [1991]

Fork lightning in your hall

Break the skin when you break the fall

I'll be the one to fix it up



Love children of the new age

Just a hippy with a weekly wage

There's no rebellion, just a chance to be lazy



When fame is in your blood

You follow the science of love

Wave the magic wand, and hang on



Now the rest of us are living in a daze

Keep thinkin' 'bout the choice to be made

Here come the handmaidens of end time



Lost treasure from a primitive race

All your lives written on your face

Can't fill the canyons of your mind



When fame is in your blood

You follow the science of love

Wave the magic wand, and hang on



Now you've changed (now you've changed)

And jumbled the pieces you've changed

(Now you've changed)

You're better before you talked (before you talked)

To a roomful of strangers



Here come the handmaidens of end time



When fame is in your blood

You swallow the science of love

Wave the magic wand

All of your stars will fall

And all of your spells will break

So look out for number one

When fame is in your blood
