lyrics

When you were wrong and I was right this past September
I saw a light fade in your eyes
And if it's happened once since then, well, I don't remember
Once love is made it starts to die

It's an easy explanation for how you ruined my life
I've got that famous inclination to be a runaway child

Hollywood, fix what I got wrong
Sell me a dream and I'll go limp in your arms
Who doesn't love another prodigal son?
Hollywood, please, I think I might be the one

You can leave me at the station, the centerpiece of my despair
I'm filled with hot anticipation of the polyester girls who'll place flowers in my hair

Haven't you heard how my sister died?
Take pictures of me and some 4-H child
I might have the skill and I've sure got the style
Hollywood, please, while my oats are still wild

Hollywood, fix what I got wrong
Sell me a dream and I'll go limp in your arms
Who doesn't love another prodigal son?
Hollywood, please, I think I might be the one
