A Marriage Made In Hollywood

Lyrics

Jimmy's not a high concept guy
 But he's front page news, let me tell you why
 He's on the cover of the New York Post
 All three networks, coast to coast
 All he needed was a hot night in June
 'Cos he had the needle and he had the spoon
 When he spiked it bit, and man, he flew
 Into America's living room
 CH:
 We all love tragedy, it loves us too
 It's a marriage made in Hollywood
 Between greed and you
 All you need to be a star is to die in open view
 It's a marriage made in Hollywood
 Between greed and you
 Between greed and you
 Between greed and you
 Loved by women, admired by men
 He walked down broadway with his best friend
 His brain was wired like a light in a socket
 With his old friend in his back pocket
 That horse could kick, that horse could scream
 Ride you out of here into a different scene
 Unrequited love, that makes it fair
 But who keeps score when you're in mid-air?
 Repeat Chorus
 Like a free-fall chute that didn't open
 He looked down to see his dream was broken
 He stared back up at a hot grey sky
 Re-run his life and then he died
 Well if you jump off a building, brother beware!
 'Cos my friend Jimmy woke up mid-air
 No time to smile, no time to wave
 They buried him in a media grave
 Repeat Chorus
