Tinseltown Lyrics

Gotta be a real hot shot tonight, a hometown hero

You broke me open and you saw inside alright, with that magnum ego

You love nothing, these walls are paper thin and it tastes like hell

My lounge lizard's gonna waste away his days in a strange motel

If you don't wanna change- fine - the world'll do that for ya

The ground is shaking and that neon sign's saying, GTFO

I know I'll never have to be alone

In the arms of my baby at home

And this loneliness raining down

Is just another kind of trouble in this Tinseltown

I wanna be your methadone, emergency contact on life's proverbial form

So wrap me up in that pencil skirt, I'll vacuum out the pain show me where you hurt

It's my hail mary that tonight I'll get to you, trade him for me, turn black into blue

I faked a little romance, you faked a big response

If ya won't stay the night - fine - when he finds out he's gonna leave ya

My heart's racing and the band's still playing that same damn song

You know you'll never have to be alone

In the arms of your baby at home

And this loneliness raining down

Is just another kind of trouble in this Tinseltown

You know you'll never have to be alone

In the arms of your baby at home

And this loneliness raining down

Is just another kind of trouble in this Tits-up-town
