Lyrics
Hollywood Hills
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Close the door and take the stairs
Up or down, Upside down
Don't pretend you've never been there
You kiss me like an overdramatic actor
You're starving for work
With one last shot to make it happen
You won the role, you've played your part
You've been cordially invited
But I'm not impressed
And I'm definately not excited
'Cause the film has a shallow budget
And the writer's subject script isn't any deeper
So dive right in
Hollywood hills and suburban thrills and you
Who are you kidding?
I'm not like them
I won't buy it
Hollywood hills and suburban thrills and you
Who are you kidding?
Don't quit your forty-seven
Then we'll turn it up and we'll play a little faster
Take back everything you ever said girl
You never meant a word of it
You never did
Take back everything you said girl
You never meant a word of it
You never did
She said, 'Alright, alright slow down'
Oh no, oh no we won't
'Cause I regret everything that I said
To ever make her feel like she was something special
Or that she ever really mattered
Or did she ever really matter?
Hollywood hills and suburban thrills and you
Who are you kidding?
I'm not like them
I won't buy it
Hollywood hills and suburban thrills
Just don't count on the summer
Don't quit your forty-seven
Then we'll turn it up and we'll play a little faster
Take back everything you ever said girl
You never meant a word of it
You never did
Take back everything you said. No!
You never meant a word of it
You never did
I'm not sayin' that I'm not breakin' some hearts tonight, girl
Oh, I'm not sayin' that I'm not breakin' some hearts tonight, girl
Alright alright slow down...
Take back everything you ever said girl
You never meant a word of it
You never did
Take back everything you said girl
You never meant a god damn word of it
You never did
Hollywood hills and suburban thrills and you
Who are you kidding?
I'm not like them
I won't buy it
Hollywood hills and suburban thrills and you
Who are you kidding?
I'm not like them
I won't buy it
