MARINA & THE DIAMONDS - Hollywood lyrics

rate me

<!-- start of lyrics -->

American queen is the American dream

American queen is the American dream

She is a Polish girl in America

Tall, tanned, hot blond, called Anya

I asked her why would you want to be a Hollywood wife

"Because I don't want to end up living in a dive on Vine"

A dive on Vine"

Air hostesses doing gossip magazine

Crosswords on a flight to JFK

Thirty nine years old

With a mile high sheen

Trying to stimulate a mind

That is slowly starting to decay

I itch my skin, I jump up and say

Lady, I know why your thoughts turn gray

<i>[CHORUS:]</i>

Hollywood infected your brain

You wanted kissing in the rain, oh oh

(I've been) Living in a movie scene

Puking American dreams, oh oh

I'm obsessed with the mess that's America

I'm obsessed with the mess that's America

A fat security making plays for me

As soon as I touch down in, old L.A., he said...

"Oh my god, you look just like Shakira

No no, you're Catherine Zeta"

Actually, my name's Marina

Your mind is just like mine

All filled up with things benign

You're looking for the golden life

<i>[CHORUS REPEAT]</i>

American dream is the American queen

American queen is the American dream

Is the American dream

<i>[CHORUS x2]</i>
