The hills are calling they're calling your name
Promising you fortune and fame
and all the things you wished you could be
They'll sell your soul its just that easy
We learned to swim by watching you sink
Hollywood came, yah it got inside your head
and ate you alive
The stage is set don't keep them waiting
All eyes are fixed on you but something is failing
Watch your step now, don't look down
You wont hear a sound
We learned to swim by watching you sink
Hollywood came, yah it got inside your head
and ate you alive
This city was built on cash and swagger
I can tell you wont make it just by your stagger
You try to leave you can't get away
Ask you to stay you wanna run away
Cut the scene! If your gonna keep stuttering
We're gonna have to let you go
You charmed them all half to death
but couldn't get away with it
All of us are watching...lights,camera,disaster!
We learned to swim by watching you sink
Hollywood came, yah it got inside your head
and ate you alive
This city was built on cash and swagger
I can tell you wont make it just by your stagger
You try to leave you can't get away
Ask you to stay you wanna run away
All I've know has drifted from me
Floating further sinking slowly
Just for a shot in the dark
We learned to swim by watching you sink
Hollywood came, yah it got inside your head
and ate you alive
This city was built on cash and swagger
I can tell you wont make it just by your stagger
You try to leave you can't get away
Ask you to stay you wanna run away
