Dave Stewart - Beast Called Fame Lyrics

Don't you wanna stay with me, baby
For the rest of our lives?
Don't you wanna stay with me, baby
For the rest of your life?

Together we can sing
That beast called fame

I'd climb the mountains with you, baby
Drink from the fountain of youth
I'd climb the mountains with you, baby
Drink from the fountain of youth

In the valley of shame
In that beast called fame

We roll the dice, hope for the best
We were lucky, baby, yeah, we were blessed
We've spun the wheel of rock and roll
We stuck together trying not to lose control, no

I won't bring you down tonight
If you don't want me to
I won't bring you down tonight
If you don't want me to

I just need someone to blame
For that beast called fame

We cracked the code and stole the jewels
They called us heroes, they called us fools
We felt hounded just like Bonnie and Clyde
That look at each other just before they died

So don't use that gun on me
Don't shoot me down like a street dog
So don't use that gun on me
Shoot me down like a street dog

'Cause I'll be howling just the same
As that beast called fame
