Jackie Greene Hollywood Lyrics
She?s a dream, she?s a dream Getting caught up in the scene Like a used car bought off of Mr Vaseline She?s a queen, she?s a queen Getting? played like a machine And all the men pretend that they respect her when they leave Hollywood There?s a man, there?s a man At least I think that he?s a man He?s struttin? down the street with a diamond on his hand Here?s the band, hear the band They?re the hottest in the land Just keeping up their contract for whatever?s in demand Hollywood Socialite, socialite Got a fancy appetite And a hundred dollar habit that she goes to every night But tonight, yes tonight Tonight she?ll do it right When they find her dead, she won?t be able to deny it Hollywood Sometimes I get so God Damned sick of these charades This town is so opaque, I swear the bums are wearing shades But I know that I?d be lying if I said it aint a thrill Don?t say I didn?t warn you when the Devil brings the bill Movie star, movie star in a tiny little car Doing 90 on the 10 coming home from the bar Big cigar, big cigar And a smoking little car He ran right off the road he didn?t make it very far Hollywood See the Freak, See The Freak He?s the flavor of the week The ratings all went up when they discovered he could speak So let him speak, yes hear him speak ?his tone is so unique? but by the time commercial hits, you know his fame has reached its peak Hollywood Now it doesn?t really matter what I do or what I say There?s a millionaire buying every hour of the day If you want to see some change you got to change it from the street Change it with your hands, change it with your feet Advertise, advertise Slick and super size Buy the car, find true love, and a dozen other lies Surprise, oh surprise Its what everybody buys A fairytale fantasy, a demon in disguise Hollywood Molly would if she could But she?s stuck in Nebraska I had a truck and so I asked her where she longed to be ?I dunno, you tell me?.life looks better on TV? I said, ?You might as well Be living in a plastic factory! Hollywood |

He walks around with his hands in his pockets
got a picture of his baby on a chain in a locket he needs her love so bad, but she?ll never know cause he won?t ever tell her and it?s so hard to find my way so hard to find my way so hard to find my way Poor Richard?s got himself a banjo he?s missing four strings but he ain?t even bothered he says: ?sunshine gonna come my way, look out kid this might be my lucky day and it?s so hard to find my way so hard to find my way so hard to find my way red robin?s been a-workin in the kitchen got everything she needs, but everything?s a-missing she grew up with the radio, tattoo on her hip is to remind her so.... that it?s so hard to find my way so hard to find my way so hard to find my way you can say what you want you can do what you do but sometimes some things are chosen for you the life that you want and the life that you?ve been given are sometimes not even the life you?ve been living I know a man who?s been working for the city he pays his rent but his life is just a pitty he says: ?nothing?s gonna change around here, im the same old man I?ve been for nearly 20 years? it?s so hard to find my way so hard to find my way so hard to find my way She turns heads wherever she?s a-walking she never speaks she lets her body do the talkin? she?s daddy?s little baby girl but she ain?t living in daddy?s world |

There must be something wrong with me
There must be something happening that I don't even see Whatever it's gonna be Oh it's just as well I can't believe the state I'm in I think I think too much and now my thoughts are wearing thin Where should I begin Oh it's just as well And all I wanted from you Love me like you wanted I can't keep your heart if your heart can't be kept satisfied I like to watch the sun go down ?? on the other side of town Besides you ain't around, oh it's just as well So much for those summer days We use them up so quickly and Who cares anyway, oh it's just as well And all I wanted from you Love me like you wanted I can't keep your heart if your heart can't be kept satisfied So even if the walls crumble down Tumble down on me I could find my own way out I could set my own self free So tell me tell me what's the use I'm nothing but a singer with my head caught in the noose Somebody cut me loose Oh it's just as well I don't want no sympathy To feel a beating heart honey is what's ?? I know you don't agree Oh it's just as well And all I watned from you Love me like you wanted I can't keep your heart if your heart can't be kept satisfied All I wanted from you love me like you wanted I can't break your heart if your heart can't be kept satisfied Romeo and Juliet Were made for one another way before they even met Such a face I can't forget Oh it's just as well |

Don't you stand there in the doorway
Cause I hate to see you cry And don't try to ignore me Just smile and wave your hand goodbye To you I send a dozen roses From every town that I've been in And as long as leaves are falling You know the shape that I've been in On the gray side of the mountain You can hear my train go by Baby, I can be forgiving But I'm never satisfied Chase the rain now from your heart dear Cause I know you will survive If I'm not living by the edge dear Then I might not be alive And in the winter of December Turn your good side on the chill And in the meantime please remember I loved you then, I love you still On my window leaves are fallen And my train is passing by Baby, I can be forgiving But I'm never satisfied |

Well I ain?t gonna ask you what you?re doing here
I know you got your reasons but honey, they ain?t ever clear And maybe it?s just better that you never stay I love you more when you?re walking away I ain?t gonna ask you what?s on your mind It?s hard enough for my own head to unwind The world is getting smaller, each and every day and I love you more when you?re walking away When you?re walking away baby, i get high like i never could you don?t stay, although sometimes I wish you would everything?s clear when you?re not here lonesome is a candle in the night a one-room bedroom window crying-light you take me for granted, but baby thats ok i love you more when you?re walking away When you?re walking away baby I get high like i never could you don?t stay, honey sometimes i wish you would everything?s clear when you?re not here well i ain?t gonna ask you what you?re doing here take what you can get and then disapear ah but that?s alright mama, you can leave me any day cause i love you more when you?re walking away |

You can listen to the money
you can listen to your friends but if you listen to your heartbeat you might never go home again you got 1000 miles, and 10 000 more to go there's blood on the wheel and you feel like everything?s outta control well maybe i?m just the foolish kind keepin' record of what i?ve left behind yet i find there aint nothing i can do im getting closer to you theres trouble down here theres trouble down there but everyday that goes by i swear its harder and harder to care i fight the good fight i do the best i can but man sometimes its impossible to stand where you think you should stand so hey mister give me something strong sometimes i feel so good and then that feelings gone but it wont be long before ill be coming through im getting closer to you some people say never some people say now some people get together and do what some people dont allow some people like to laugh at the people who cry and my how everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody?s ready to die Now nevermind my state of mind neon signs across the borderline closing time; and i think its time i flew im getting closer to you |

operate a searchlight
From a tower through a window Many hours I spend looking for you Ever since you've been gone So I've been looking for you baby Every morning and every evening You never said the reasons But you said we'd meet again And when the storms that you once threw Get thrown back at you And you just can't stand to stand in your own skin I'll let you in I'm nailed to the tail of a whale At the bottom of an ocean Any day here I'll have to Come back up for air I'll be waiting for you baby In the city in the jungle Sitting pretty waiting for you Knock on my door So when the friends that you once knew Don't remember you And they tell you that you can't be born again I'll let you in I control the weather From a dial in the kitchen Lighting fires from the burner It's absurd but it works just fine I've been thinking about places I've been to and have loved me And I've had to been sad to Had to leave cuz things got lost [And when the friends that you once knew Don't remember you] And you just don't think you'll ever learn again I'll let you in |

stand inside your doorway honey I don?t feel a thing
you?re always looking for the best that I can?t never bring so now I?m gone... and don?t you ask me why it?s been so long since I?ve seen you cry farwell so long goodbye I jumped out of your window but i fell right to the ground I wished you would have told me that your man was still around so now I?m gone... and don?t you ask me why you did me wrong lie after lie farwell, so long, goodbye Everybody?s talking about the way things ought to be but there ain?t anybody that makes any sense to me so now I?m gone... and don?t you ask me why I don?t belong but I dont even try farewell so long goodbye |

Cookie cried for three days, until she couldn?t cry no more
she ate the fridge, jumped the bridge and wound up bloated on the shore The children they all pointed at another painted score and somebody asked: ?can I take a picture?? Well the heat down here is brutal, it?s hard to do what?s right the locals shout that you won?t burn out if you don?t ever shine too bright and I wish I was in your back pocket or in your bed tonight I wish that i was loud so you could hear me but oh, no what else must I be? it?s all inside my head I guess but it just reminds me that I need you, honey I need you there ain?t nobody who could supersede you we?re not such strangers, so honey I need you right now Now all the streets are paved with petals, the parade is coming through it kind of feels like royalty cause? everyone?s in blue and yellow flowers falling, from a window too falling to the feet of such a coward The mayor is kissing babies, he?s almost way too kind we?re filled to the brim with honest men, they?re just way too hard to find so stare into his Public Eyes and watch his clock unwind then find him old and drowning in the deep end but oh, now what else must I see? It?s all inside my head I guess but it just reminds me that I need you, honey I need you there ain?t nobody who could supersede you we?re not such strangers so honey i need you right now You see, I long for a hickory morning with a waltz and trumpet flare i?m doing my best to recover from what time cannot repair and i?m sick of all this solitude and pre-rehearsed despair my eyes are a hundred miles away from sleeping Well I wish you?d write a letter, or telephone to me this place is dark and there ain?t a spark of who I used to be so the sick hearts of the unloved tell the brave souls of the sea: ?we?re all closed up, why don?t you come back when we?re open.? but oh, no what else must I be? it?s all inside my head I guess but it just reminds me that I need you, honey I need you there ain?t nobody who could supersede you we?re not such strangers so honey I need you right now There?s a cracked and pale mirror, hanging on my wall the church bell rings and the choir sings and I can hear it from the hall Now you might not believe it, but there was no fire at all we just danced for seven days wishing for water Maria tells the fortunes, they line around the bend a dollar for your problems, and five to know the end They come from miles around; like a pack of howling men I wonder what she does with all that money but oh, now what else must i be? it?s all inside my head i guess, but it just reminds me that I need you, honey I need you there ain?t nobody who could supersede you we?re not such strangers, so honey I need you right now Simple sidewalk painter, says his life is such a bore spends his time with a jug of wine and a palette on the floor he screams: ?Heaven! Take my eyes, cause I can?t paint no more.? Honey, sometimes I feel just like his colors I?m gonna go down to the ocean, I want to fill my boots with sand so the next time that you see me, I?ll be a much more grounded man So go and do whatever it is you do and I?ll do what I can and when we meet again you can try to know me oh hey, what else must I be? it?s all inside my head I guess but it just reminds me that I need you, honey I need you there ain?t nobody who could supersede you we?re not such strangers so honey I need you right now they call me pessimistic, but it occured to me that babies are all born crying and dying is never free But I still can?t shake that feeling, that Somebody?s watching me.... I just thought that I would tell you |

So much depends on first loves and friends
legs for a table and i painted my room with judgments and doom but i still ain't able to sleep got to sleep and dream up some dreams i can keep oh my, my marigold, marigold i was walking at dawn when something turned on but i couldn't name it so i, i went back home i did it alone but i couldn't claim it i tried, yes i tried i tried honey i was denied oh my, my marigold, marigold well everything becomes much more meaningless as time passes by so i hide in the bedorom with strong curtains drawn so i can't look the world in the eye i heard you were well i heard that you fell back on your feet well me, i'm still in fear i planted her here right in the street to sleep, so she sleeps and dreams with the orphans and freaks oh my, my marigold, marigold now talk, talk it is cheap i talk in my sleep i know what to say i said, i said you were wise to let go of my eyes and push me away and run, yes you run you run honey nothing gets done oh my, my marigold, marigold but all that i've learned it must be a chemical change after all i'm no different from the next twisted talker who's taking his lies to the grave i wasn't myself i was nobody else that i couldn't be like you were nobody too to somebody who's exactly like me so sleep, let her sleep and dream up the dreams we can keep oh my, my marigold, marigold |
