Lyrics
One day my hoops will be made of diamonds
And my knuckles made of real gold
I'll spend my days gettin' high with all my friends
In the glamorous and green old part of Hollywood
Sun will rise, I'm a supernova
Body electric and I dance like Morrison
When the night begins
Baby comes alive again
In Hollywood, in Hollywood
In Hollywood, in Hollywood
I'm alive again, I'm alive again
One day I'll drive in a gold Mercedes Benz
Singin' opera on Bel Air road
Hair to my ass, we'll be flyin' in the wind
Shootin' heroin and speedballs
See the sea, I'm a supernova
I walk on water and I dance like Joplin
When the sun descends
I dive into the waves again
In Hollywood, in Hollywood
In Hollywood, in Hollywood
I'm alive again, I'm alive again
Oh, oh, c-can you see me?
Oh, oh, my heart beatin' fast
I can feel it chasin' in the speed lights
I was built to last
Oh, oh, c-can you feel that?
Oh, oh, my heart shakin' fast
I can feel that you're the one for me
You'll be my first, you'll be my last
In Hollywood, in Hollywood
In Hollywood, in Hollywood
I'm alive again, I'm alive again
I'm alive again, I'm alive again
Mm, mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm
