[Verse 1]
In the middle of the side of the road
I'm a cynical baby
So your god fell in love with the war
Well he's only your god
I'm the first male lesbian
I feel less being jaded
The gayest straight boy that you'll ever meet
And I meet everyone only not in the flesh
[Pre-Chorus]
Easy, hopeless admiration of a Hollywood home
Easy, hopeless admiration
[Chorus]
We're living in, we're living in a Hollywood home
We're living in, we're living in a Hollywood hole
We're living in, we're living in a Hollywood home
We're living in, we're living in
[Verse 2]
In the middle of the side of the road
I'm a cynical baby
So your god fell on love with the war
He never knew why but hell, he made a fault
[Pre-Chorus]
Easy, hopeless admiration of a Hollywood home
Easy, hopeless admiration
[Chorus]
We're living in, we're living in a Hollywood home
We're living in, we're living in a Hollywood hole
We're living in, we're living in a Hollywood home
We're living in, we're living in
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]

Limp feet proceed to hold me up
[Pre-Chorus]
Easy, hopeless admiration of a Hollywood home
Easy, hopeless admiration
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
Easy, hopeless admiration of a Hollywood home
Easy, hopeless admiration
[Chorus]
We're living in, we're living in a Hollywood home
We're living in, we're living in a Hollywood hole
We're living in, we're living in a Hollywood home
We're living in, we're living in
[Outro]
We're living in
We're living in
We're living in
We're living in, we're living in
Now that you've come home
