The courtship stars out, where romance plays out Over at my house, I'm on the couch You're on the TV, not here with me That's a problem, we can figure out Sabotage fame, we need a scandal bad So you can exit red carpet, enter drug rehab When your looks go down the drain And your career is through Then I'll be there for you and you'll be there too. Hollywood lights in my backyard Your movie's great, my life is hard Why can't you see through the screen You came from nowhere and I still live there They say life's not fair but I don't care If there's a problem with my master plan Fate can take it up with somebody who gives a damn 'Cause I got a lot to offer you minus the rent It's another clear reason why you're heaven sent And I know I'm not the one that you've been waiting for But I want you more than anyone before Hollywood lights in my backyard Your movie's great, my life is hard Why can't you see through the screen Baby blue jean submarine Your big shot just broke my dreams Why can't you see through the screen Suffer through the tabloids seeing you and Mr. Right Living out your picture perfect life Gold up in the hills while this loneliness just k**s Staring up into your name that's on the sign Hollywood lights in my backyard Your movie's great, my life is hard, is hard Baby blue jean submarine Your big shot just broke my dreams, my dreams I could write a screenplay of a single perfect night Soundtrack of Sinatra by moonlight Masterpiece of prose with just one single red rose When it all comes to a close you'll be mine, you'll be mine
