Well they let you down. Fallen angel, upon the ground. And they filled you all up with drugs. Then one day you just gave it up. . You're a shining star.
Is love just a big mistake. Just a risk that we all take. Trying to keep the blues away. Is love just a means to an end. Back when you were my girlfriend.
Thought I lost you once again. All that drinking brought some trouble to our name. Late at night I feel no shame. All my old world stories. Take me back again.
The stars and stripes won't keep you warm at night. Won't keep those evil empires from your door. The union jack strapped across your back. Has lost some of the strength it had before.
Sit down my wounded friend. You're safe at home again. Or in a strange hotel. Where we can play pretend. . But when it rains. My heart it soars. What's yours is mine.
Under a neon sky. The Harland Cranes they fill your eyes. And through July parades. I'm clinging on for dear life. . 3000 miles from home. My fragile heart was on the run.
So it was my life began. Just a pale and drawn shadow of a man. Then I put my armour on. This could be the night all my fears are gone. This could be the one.
We all get burned sometimes. Lately I've had mine. Starts off in your mind. Runs right down your spine. . We all get hurt by love. When you've had enough.
Maybe you think she's not for me. Maybe you think she's got a chequered history. Maybe I should not have to try. Send her some money. And have an easy life.
Oh, the fire light. Will soon be right. Will soon be right. Oh, your heart and mine. Will soon be mine. Will soon be mine. . I wanna be your lover, Hollywood.
