Hollywood

Hollywood - Codeine Velvet Club

How can it be that I could be lost again

Here in a town of yesterday's desperate men

All dressed up to go for the final scene

Here comes the dread

They fed me in last night's dream

She's got too much class for the likes of me

I'll stay but don't make me nervous

Lost in the haze of yesterdays memory

Don't think that you don't deserve us

Crying all the way to the bank

On the bullet train

But crying don't get you nowhere

I must be the only man

That they couldn't frame

I couldn't see the enemy

Till he was close behind

Waltzing blind through my mind

And if the lights should freeze oh please

Don't make it him or me then we'll see

This city is a monument to bad taste in vain

Hooray for Hollywood

Break out the search lights above

But I couldn't tear myself

Away so I can't complain

Send out the substitutes

Tonight we'll be making love

Crawling in deaf and dumb for the losers ball

Here's to the house

On the hill and the thrill of it all

Sinking in a tidal wave of alcohol

How could I miss

It's come to this Hollywood final scene

Make it clean

And if the lights should freeze oh please

Don't make it him or me then we'll see

I couldn't see the enemy

Till he was close behind

Waltzing blind through my mind

Look out below

This heart will blow Hollywood style tonight

It don't seem right

And if the lights should freeze

Don't make it him or me

Then we'll see
