Everybody comes to Hollywood
They wanna make it in the neighborhood
They like the smell of it in Hollywood
How could it hurt you when it looks so good

Chorus:

Shine your light now
This time it's gotta be good yah
You get it right now
'Cause you're in Hollywood oh

There's something in the air in Hollywood
The sun is shining like you knew it would would would
You're ridin' in your car in Hollywood
You got the top down and it feels so good oooooooooh

Everybody comes to Hollywood
They wanna make it in the neighborhood
They like the smell of it in Hollywood
How could it hurt you when it looks so good

I lost my memory in Hollywood
I've had a million visions, bad and good
There's something in the air in Hollywood it is so good
I tried to leave it but I never could

(chorus)

There's something in the air in Hollywood
I've lost my reputation, bad and good
You're ridin' in your car in Hollywood
You got the top down and it feels so good

Music stations always play the same songs
I'm bored with the concept of right and wrong

Everybody comes to Hollywood
They wanna make it in the neighborhood
They like the smell of it in Hollywood
How could it hurt you when it looks so good

(chorus)

'Cause you're in Hollywood
'Cause you're in Hollywood
In Hollywood (repeat three times)

Check it out, this bird has flown

(chorus)

'Cause you're in Hollywood
'Cause you're in Hollywood
In Hollywood (repeat three times)

Push the button
Don't push the button
Trip the station
Change the channel Hey!
(repeat four time)

Cause I use to live
In a fuzzy dream
And I wanted to be
Like all the pretty people
I'm so stupid
Cause I use to live
In a fuzzy dream
And I use to believe
In a pretty pictures
That were all around me
But now I know for sure
That I was stupid

Please don't try to tempt me
It was just greed
And it won't protect me
Don't want my dreams
Adding up to nothing
I was just looking for
Everybody's looking for something

I'm so stupid
Cause I use to live
In a tiny bubble
And I wanted to be
Like all the pretty people
That were all around me
But now I know for sure
That I was stupid
Stupider than stupid

Stupider than stupid
Stupider than stupid

Please don't try to tempt me
It was just greed
And it won't protect me
Don't want my dreams
Adding up to nothing
I was just looking for
Everybody's looking for something

Everybody's looking for something
Everybody's stupid stupid
Everybody's looking for something
Everybody's stupid stupid
Everybody's looking for something
Everybody's stupid stupid
Everybody's looking for something
Everybody, everybody

Please don't try to tempt me
It was just greed
And it won't protect me
Don't want my dreams
Adding up to nothing
I was just looking for
Everybody's looking for something

I got to save my baby
Because he makes me cry
I got to make him happy
I got to teach him how to fly
I want to take him higher
Way up like a bird in the sky
I got to calm him down now
I want to save his life

And I know that love will change us forever
And I know that love will keep us together
And I know, I know
There is nothing to fear
And I know that love
Will take us away from here

Sometimes it's such a pleasure
Sometimes I wanna tear it all down
It's easy to be lazy
And hard to go away from the crowd

I know the road looks lonely
But that's just Satan's game
And either way my baby
We'll never be the same

And I know that love will change us forever
And I know that love will keep us together
And I know, I know
There is nothing to fear
And I know that love
Will take us away from here

In the blink of an eye everything could change
Say hello to your life now your living
This is it from now on
It's a brand new day
It was time to wake up from this dream (from this dream)

I know the road looks lonely
But that's just Satan's game
And either way my baby
You'll never be the same
And I know that love will change us forever
And I know that love will keep us together

And I know, I know
There is nothing to fear
And I know that love
Will take us away from here

I'm not myself when you're around
I'm not myself standing in a crowd
I'm not myself and I don't know how
I'm not myself, myself right now

Chorus:

Jesus Christ will you look at me
Don't know who I'm supposed to be
Don't really know if I should give a damn
When you're around, I don't know who I am

I'm not myself when you go quiet
I'm not myself alone at night
I'm not myself, don't know who to call
I'm not myself at all

(chorus)

I always wished that I could find someone as beautiful as you
But in the process I forgot that I was special too

I'm not myself when you're around
I'm not myself when you go quiet
I'm not myself all alone at night
I'm not myself standing in a crowd
I'm not myself and I don't know how
I'm not myself, myself right now
Don't know what I believe

(chorus)

I always wished that I could find someone as beautiful as you
But in the process I forgot that I was special too
I always wished that I could find someone as talented as you
But in the process I forgot that I was just as good as you

I'm gonna wake up, yes and no
I'm gonna kiss, some part of
I'm gonna keep, this secret
I'm gonna close, my body now

Guess I'll die another day
Guess I'll die another day
Guess I'll die another day
Guess I'll die another day
I guess I'll die another day, another day
I guess I'll die another day, another day
I guess I'll die another day, another day
I guess I'll die another day

Siegmund freud,
Analyse this.
Analyse this.
Analyse this, this, this….

I'm gonna break, the cycle
I'm gonna shake up, the system
I'm gonna destroy, my ego
I'm gonna close, my body now

(uh. uh)
I think I'll find another way
There's so much more to know
I guess I'll die another day
It's not my time to go

For every sin, I'll have to pay
A time to work, a time to play
I think I'll find another way
It's not my time to go

I'm gonna avoid, the cliché
I'm gonna suspend, my senses
I'm gonna delay, my pleasure
I'm gonna close, my body now

Guess I'll die another day
Guess I'll die another day
Guess I'll die another day
Guess I'll die another day


I think I'll find, another way
There's so much more, to know
I guess I'll die another day
It's not my time to go





Guess I'll die another day
Guess I'll die another day
Guess I'll die another day
Guess I'll die another day
Another day
Another day
Another day
Another day
Another day
Another day
Another day

I want the good life
But I don't want an easy ride
What I want is to work for it
Feel the blood and sweat on my fingertips
That's what I want for me
I want to know everything
Maybe someday I will
What I want is to find my place
Breathe the air and feel the sun on my children's face
That's what I want

I go round and round just like a circle
I can see a clearer picture
When I touch the ground I come full circle
To my place and I am home
I am home

I want to let go of all disappointment
That's waiting for me
What I want is to live forever
Not defined by time and space
It's a lonely place
That's what I want

I go round and round just like a circle
I can see a clearer picture
When I touch the ground I come full circle
To my place and I am home
I am home

I go round and round just like a circle
I can see a clearer picture
When I touch the ground I come full circle
To my place and I am home
I am home

I go round and round just
Round and round just
