"Hollywood Ending" lyrics

"Hollywood Ending"

Our story roars to life
A hundred miles from the county line
With the glowing horizon
Where our hero dreams of building
By the light of the star-studded hills
We'd all be happy to die on

Angels in her corner
Cables disappearing over
All of the disbelief that we've been suspending
Wishing away the winter
With three coins in a concrete river
Angels, deliver our Hollywood ending

She feels but cannot see
The desert for the mighty trees
Dreamed up by our fathers
Who watered without rain
As more and more heroes came
To feast on their own hunger

Angels in their corners
Cables disappearing over
All of the disbelief that we've been suspending
As summer buys out winter
With three coins from a concrete river
Angels deliver us our Hollywood ending
Our Hollywood ending

Now our hero spends her nights
Above the striving and the strife
Of the shimmering valley
And we've followed her until
We're on the same star-studded hill
With the same hole in our finale

Painted into a corner
Angels disappearing under
The weight of the disbelief that we've been suspending
Another year of summer
With nobody to hear us wonder
Who's gonna deliver us from our Hollywood ending now

Our Hollywood ending now
Our Hollywood ending now
Our Hollywood ending
