Hollywood's Dead

[Verse 1]

Our kind of love

It was once in a lifetime

It couldn't last

It was doomed from the first time

And you

Were '50s cool

In blue suede shoes

But it was a cover for all of the trouble

You got into

[Pre-Chorus 1]

I always fall for the wrong guy

Things that are bad always taste nice

That's what girls like me do, lose you

[Chorus]

Don't tell me it's over

Don't tell me it's over

Hollywood's dead

Elvis is cryin'

Vicious in flames

Roland is dyin'

And in the light, you're sickeningly beautiful

Say goodbye, you're sickeningly beautiful

[Verse 2]

This kind of life

Wasn't meant for the good girl

Try as I might

In the end, it's a cruel world

And you

Are livin' proof

Sinatra aloof

But you were an actor who only went after

The ones who swooned

[Pre-Chorus 2]

I always fall for the same type

Gangsters in Vegas on game night

That's what girls like me like, the limelight

[Chorus]

Don't tell me it's over

Don't tell me it's over

Hollywood's dead

Elvis is cryin'

Marilyn's sad

Hendrix is lying there

In the light, you're sickeningly beautiful

Say goodbye, you're sickeningly beautiful

[Bridge]

If you should go before me, then know

That I always loved you

There's no one above you, babe

[Chorus - Variation]

Don't tell me it's over

Don't tell me it's over

Hollywood's dead

Elvis is cryin'

Lennon, wake up

Cobain, stop lying there

In the light, you're sickeningly beautiful

Say goodbye, you're sickeningly beautiful

Say goodnight, you're so beautiful

[Outro]

Hollywood's dead

Hollywood's dead

Hollywood's dead, yeah

Hollywood's dead

Hollywood's dead

Hollywood's dead, yeah
