The Oscar goes to Glen Close tonight
|
She thanks the lord and her mum in the flashing light
|
I wonder why the academy has forgotten you
|
With all the brilliant shows you do
|
Pretending that you`re loving me
|
Starring in my tragedy
|
|
So here we go on the walk of fame
|
The camera rolls, you appear and forget my name
|
Don`t forget to save your tears for the crying scene
|
Drama queen on wide screen
|
The carpet? red it? made of blood
|
From the love that we once had
|
Still hear you say...
|
|
Our love`s like Hollywood
|
Boomtown Babylon
|
Perfect smile for a while if it sells
|
Still hear you say
|
Our love`s like Hollywood
|
Boomtown Babylon
|
And you`re the nominated one
|
For the category (of) ?sham actress?
|
With no success
|
You close your eyes
|
And hope that god will bless
|
Your awfully expensive dress
|
And maybe he?l forget the rest
|
|
The music swells as the hero dies
|
He gives his life for his love and the audience cries
|
There aint no reason good enough to go on like this
|
A bad taste after every kiss
|
fake tears are your speciality
|
So don`t you cry for me
|
|
Still hear you say...
|
