lyrics

I rest my case on your busy table
I feed my maze to your horses' stable
Woooo-o-ooooo
When I turn my back to the sun
Woooo-o-ooooo
Will you see that I am on the run
Who lost his love in a bet
With such an elegant vulture
He's such a good actor
Just put him through the test
Now I do clearly see you
Would rather kill the spotlight and get into a fight
And kill me Hollywood, Hollywood!

I rest my case on your record label
You need your space, you who dress in sable
Woooo-o-ooooo
When I turn my back to the sun
Woooo-o-ooooo
Will you see that I was the one
Who lost his love in a bet
With such an elegant vulture
He's such a good actor
Just put him through the test
Now I do clearly see you
Would rather kill the spotlight and get into a fight
And kill me Hollywood, Hollywood!

Woooo-o-ooooo
When I turn my back to the sun
Woooo-o-ooooo
Will you see that I was the one
Who lost his love in a bet
With such an elegant vulture
He's such a good actor
Just put him through the test
Now I do clearly see you
Would rather kill the spotlight and get into a fight
And kill me Hollywood, Hollywood!
