[VERSE 1]
Came to the sunset scene
To find out who's inside of me
Some lies I've never seen
But this one lie is on the silver screen
In between real and dream
Like a scream
Hollywood black
I'm caught in the middle
Hollywood black
[VERSE 2]
Same story, different eyes
Here's where the hero never, never dies
Can't you tell
That all the wishes you've made
Have filled up the well
Hollywood black
Caught in the middle
Hollywood black
Yeah
Oh, Hollywood black
Right in the middle
Too late too little
[BRIDGE]
Back to the street again
Or was that yesterday?
Another yesterday's gone, gone
Back in the jungle
Running with the animals
Howling at the shine of the spotlight
[VERSE 3]
Those dreams are made of glass
You throw just one stone
And then there goes your last window
Can't you tell
That every wish that you made
Filled up the well
Hollywood black
Caught in the middle
Hollywood black
Hollywood black
Right in the middle
Ah, Hollywood black
Hollywood black
Caught in the middle
Too late too little
And only fools come back
Cause Hollywood is black
