Ooh yeah
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)
