Lyrics
Our kind of love
It was once in a lifetime
It couldn't last
It was doomed from the first time
And you were 50s cool
In blue suede shoes
But it was a cover for
All of the trouble you got into
I always fall for the wrong guy
Things that are bad always taste nice
That's what girls like me do, lose you
Don't tell me it's over
Don't tell me it's over
Hollywood's dead
Elvis is crying
Vicious in flames
Bolan is dying
And in the light, you're
Sickeningly beautiful
Say goodbye, you're
Sickeningly beautiful
This kind of life
Wasn't meant for the good girl
Try as I might
In the end it's a cruel world
And you are living proof
Sinatra aloof
That you were an actor
Who only went after the ones who swooned
I always fall for the same type
Gangsters in Vegas on game night
That's what girls like me like
The limelight
Don't tell me it's over
Don't tell me it's over
Hollywood's dead
Elvis is crying
Marilyn's sad
Hendrix is lying there
In the light, you're
Sickeningly beautiful
Say goodbye, you're
Sickeningly beautiful
If you should go
Before me then know
That I always loved you
There's no one above you, baby
Don't tell me it's over
Don't tell me it's over
Hollywood's dead
Elvis is crying
Lennon, wake up
Cobain, stop lyin' there
In the light, you're
Sickeningly beautiful
Say goodbye, you're
Sickeningly beautiful
Say goodnight, you're
So beautiful
Hollywood's dead
Hollywood's dead
Hollywood's dead, yeah
Hollywood's dead
Hollywood's dead
Hollywood's dead, yeah
(Cut!)
