| See the girl at the bus stop
|
| Standing with her suitcase, looking lost
|
| Feeling like Marilyn back in nineteen fiftyfive
|
| She stands in the pourin' rain
|
| Wishing she was home again
|
| And she can’t keep the water from runnin' into her eyes
|
| Happy birthday, baby
|
| What a big surprise
|
| Wave goodbye to the small town eyes and your mama’s love
|
| Say hello to the real life jungle scene
|
| There’s things goin' down that the books you’ve read never said about
|
| You might get nightmares livin' out your Hollywood dreams
|
| Yeah, you might get nightmares livin' out your Hollywood dreams
|
| Then a man says «Hi!»
|
| «Won't you give it a try in the movie game?»
|
| He takes you to a room with a camera and a bottle of wine
|
| You stare down the camera lens
|
| He tells you «Just to pretend»
|
| Then his fingers click and you play your part just fine
|
| Just wave goodbye to the small town eyes and your mama’s love
|
| Say hello to the real life jungle scene
|
| There’s things goin' down that the books you’ve read never said about, oh no
|
| You might get nightmares livin' out your Hollywood dreams, don’t you know?
|
| You might get nightmares livin' out your Hollywood dreams
|
| And the wheels go round and round
|
| All around Tinseltown
|
| Action, lights and sound
|
| You know the signs
|
| You’ve learned the lines
|
| You might get nightmares livin' out your Hollywood dreams, oh baby
|
| You might get nightmares livin' out your Hollywood dreams
|
| (You might get nightmares livin' out all your Hollywood dreams) Hmm,
|
| your Hollywood dreams
|
| (You might get nightmares livin' out your Hollywood dreams)
|
| (You might get nightmares livin' out all your Hollywood dreams) You’re living
|
| in a dream, girl
|
| (You might get nightmares livin' out your Hollywood dreams) Don’t you know
|
| (You might get nightmares livin' out all your Hollywood dreams) You’re living
|
| in a dream, girl
|
| (You might get nightmares livin' out your Hollywood dreams)
|
| (You might get nightmares livin' out all your Hollywood dreams) |
