Hollywood Girl, world renowned, flashbulbs flickering in the crowd, see how they all just love you now, the queen of the big screen is rocking her crown. Hollywood Girl, sinking stone, lying next to someone feeling alone. It seems the cameras are in her way but she loves the spotlight so it’s ok. Hollywood Girl, what’s the deal? Fresh out of rehab, how do you feel? Its gotta be tough when every friend sticks a knife in your back when your not looking.
So wherever you go. I want you to know that I think your special , ya. And them tears, your starting to cry, well you’ll be alright. Just know that your special.
Hollywood Girl, it’s near the end, sweet senorita dancing in the wind. Pulled by the lust, the greed and sin, the edges were slippery, you just fell in. Hollywood Girl, lost control. The sex and the drugs and the rock n’ roll. Just 18 when you left your home, the city of angels swallowed your soul. Hollywood Girl, don’t make a sound. The light of the sunsets got you now. Looking like a girl from a smaller town, looking like a girl I used to care about.
So wherever you go. I want you to know that I think your special , ya. And them tears, your starting to cry, well you’ll be alright. Just know that your special.
And you’ll conquer the whole world once you discover it.
Your faith will be renewed once you discover it.
Your spread your wings and fly once you’ve discovered it.
You’ll hold your head up high once you’ve discovered it.
They tried to make me go to rehab but I said no, no, no
So open up another bottle and let it flow, flow, flow
