[Verse 1]
What is it in your lights, makes people hypnotized
They buy a one way trip into paradise
Great expectations, but never hit the mark
They give up everything for a promise in the dark
[Pre-Chorus]
Built on broken dreams
Nothing's what it seems
[Chorus]
Hollywood, Hollywood
Who do you think you are?
Hollywood
What makes you think you aren't a fallen star?
[Verse 2]
In sparkling tinsel town, you can make your thing
And then a year from now, no one knows your name
How far will you go, to make it to the screen
Takes more than a compromise to make a movie queen
[Pre-Chorus]
One more star is born
Your fellows can't wait till morn'...
What is it in your lights, makes people hypnotized
They buy a one way trip into paradise
Great expectations, but never hit the mark
They give up everything for a promise in the dark
[Pre-Chorus]
Built on broken dreams
Nothing's what it seems
[Chorus]
Hollywood, Hollywood
Who do you think you are?
Hollywood
What makes you think you aren't a fallen star?
[Verse 2]
In sparkling tinsel town, you can make your thing
And then a year from now, no one knows your name
How far will you go, to make it to the screen
Takes more than a compromise to make a movie queen
[Pre-Chorus]
One more star is born
Your fellows can't wait till morn'...
