Tinseltown

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 will 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
