Boomtown Babylon Lyrics - Fury In The Slaughterhouse

The Oscar goes to Glen Close tonight 

She thanks the lord and her mum in the flashing light 

I wonder why the academy has forgotten you 

With all the brilliant shows you do 

Pretending that you`re loving me 

Starring in my tragedy 

So here we go on the walk of fame 

The camera rolls, you appear and forget my name 

Don`t forget to save your tears for the crying scene 

Drama queen on wide screen 

The carpet red it made of blood 

From the love that we once had 

Still hear you say... 

Our love`s like Hollywood 

Boomtown Babylon 

Perfect smile for a while if it sells 

Still hear you say 

Our love`s like Hollywood 

Boomtown Babylon 

And you`re the nominated one 

For the category (of) ?sham actress? 

With no success 

You close your eyes 

And hope that god will bless 

Your awfully expensive dress 

And maybe hel forget the rest 

The music swells as the hero dies 

He gives his life for his love and the audience cries 

There aint no reason good enough to go on like this 

A bad taste after every kiss 

fake tears are your speciality 

So don`t you cry for me
