In Vain - INXS

Well just the other day 
While alone in my room 
I said to myself 
I need something new 
I've cut a new life slice 
And feed the lions twice 
And they'll shake their manes in confusion 
My love 
My love's in vain 
My love 

Put a bet on everything 
It'll come up fine 
My fingers are crossed 
And tapping in time 
You got a pretty face 
Such a pretty pretty face 
You can brush your own mane 
Fame is your pain 

Maybe an older woman 
Will show me a way 
To ease those creases 
And crave no reasons 
'Cause reasons are with gods 
There's a heaven within me 
But we all shake our manes in confusion 

Should I grab you by the collar 
Or just go my way 
With a knife between my clean white teeth 
Don't want your feather in my cap 
Don't care about that 
You can brush your own mane 
Fame is your pain
