The Fixx - No Hollywood Ending lyrics

When the curtain falls And the final scene has ended The audience has left the stalls The actor stops pretending This is no Hollywood ending Stares from behind the mask Silent, he stands screaming Love always plays the part Just as the mind starts bending This is no Hollywood ending This is no Hollywood ending Successful, doomed to fail From the spotlight to the wings As you strip away the veil Through makeup to the skin This is no Hollywood ending There's no use in us pretending For us, there'll be no Hollywood ending
