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, oh.
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.
