[Verse 1]
Pulled up in a rented car
Mud on the door and blood on the bar
You had your name in chrome and gold
I had a prayer and a tank half full
Palm trees bend in the hot night air
Everybody smiles like they don't care
But I saw the price on every crown
And I heard that old town settling down
[Pre-Chorus]
You can run with the rich and the wild
Wear the grin for a little while
But the ride don't stop for the pretty and proud
It takes what it wants, then it drags you out
[Chorus]
Everybody dies in Hollywood
Pretty face, broken heart
Same last breath, same old dark
You can shine like a shotgun spark
Everybody dies in Hollywood
Still you fall in the same black yard
[Verse 2]
You kissed the ring and kissed the sky
Bought a little fame, paid a bigger lie
I heard your laugh in a motel hall
Sounded like a dare before the fall
Now the mirrors talk and the money fades
Every deal comes due someday
That red carpet turns to dust
And the ones you trust don't stay for much
[Pre-Chorus]
You can run with the rich and the wild
Wear the grin for a little while
But the ride don't stop for the pretty and proud
It takes what it wants, then it drags you out
[Chorus]
Everybody dies in Hollywood
Pretty face, broken heart
Same last breath, same old dark
You can shine like a shotgun spark
Everybody dies in Hollywood
Still you fall in the same black yard
[Bridge]
So tell me who you think you are
With your gold and your borrowed stars
When the lights go down, it don't matter
Just bone and dust and a beating heart
[Final Chorus]
Everybody dies in Hollywood
Pretty face, broken heart
Same last breath, same old dark
You can shine like a shotgun spark
Everybody dies in Hollywood
Still you fall in the same black yard
