"The King Of Hollywood" lyrics
"The King Of Hollywood"
Well, he sits up there on his leatherette
Looks through pictures of the ones that he hasn't had yet
When he thinks he wants a closer look
He gets out his little black telephone book
He's calling, calling, calling
He's calling, calling, calling
He's calling, calling, calling
He's calling
"Come sit down here beside me, honey
Let's have a little heart to heart
Now look at me and tell me, darling
How badly do you want this part?
Are you willing to sacrifice?
And are you willing to be real nice?
All your talent and my good taste
I'd hate to see it go to waste."
"We gon' get you an apartment, honey
We gon' get you a car
Yeah, we're gonna take care of you, darling
We gon' make you a movie star
For years I've seen 'em come and go."
He says, "I've had 'em all, you know
I handled everything in my own way
I made 'em what they are today."
After 'while nothing was pretty
After 'while everything got lost
Still, his Jacuzzi runneth over
Still he just couldn't get off
He's just another power junky
Just another silk scarf monkey
You'd know it if you saw his stuff
The man just isn't big enough

Toto - "Georgy Porgy" It's not your situation
I just need contemplation over you
I'm not so systematic
It's just that I'm an addict for your love
I'm not the only one that holds you
I never ever should have told you...
The Rolling Stones - "Heaven" Smell of you baby, my senses, my senses be praised
Smell of you baby, my senses, my senses be praised
Kissing and running, kissing and running away
Kissing and running, kissing and running away...
Chicago - "25 Or 6 To 4" Waiting for the break of day
Searching for something to say
Flashing lights against the sky
Giving up, I close my eyes
Sitting cross-legged on the floor
25 or 6 to 4, yeah
Staring blindly into...
Jackson Browne - "Running On Empty" Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields
In '65, I was 17 and running up 101
I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running...
Don Henley - "The Last Worthless Evening" I know you broke up with him
And your heart's still on the shelf
It's been over two years for me
And I'm still not quite myself
You can't be with someone new
And you can't go back to him
You're...
