Hollywood - Some Velvet Morning

This life gets harder day by day

It seems like everyone wants more

I try to compensate in other ways

I try but I just can’t take more

But the rent is due

I see tears in her eyes

It’s not Hollywood

Just the best we could find

These expectations crypt all nights

It tries to steal my joi de vivre

All this pressure building day and night

Sometimes I wish that I could leave

But the rent is due

I see tears in her eyes

It’s not Hollywood

Just the best we could find

And there’s bills to pay

Come now baby, don’t cry

It’s not Hollywood

Just the best we could find

Tell me you understand

Tell me we’ll be alright

Tell me we’ve got a plan

It’s hard to keep going on

It’s hard to keep being strong

When this is not the way it’s meant to be

This is not where I had hoped to be

On my knees, I’m on my knees

On my knees, I’m on my knees

But the rent is due

(On my knees, I’m)

I see tears in her eyes

(On my knees, I’m)

It’s not Hollywood

(On my knees, I’m)

Just the best we could find

(On my knees, I’m)

And No Second Take

(On my knees, I’m)

No way to rewind

It’s not Hollywood

Just the best we could find

It’s not Hollywood

Just the best we could find.
