Close the door and take the stairs

Up or down, Ups and downs

Don't pretend you've never been there

You kiss me like an overdramatic actor

Who's starving for work

With one last shot to make it happen



You won the role, you've played your part

You've been cordially invited

But I'm not impressed

And I'm definately not excited

Cause the film has a shallow budget

And the writer's subject script isn't any deeper

So dive right in



Hollywood hills and suburban thrills,

Hey you, who are you kidding?

I'm not like them. I won't buy in.

Hollywood hills and suburban thrills,

Hey you, who are you kidding?

Don't quit 'til 47.

Then we'll turn it up, and we'll play a little faster.



Take back everything you ever said

You never meant a word of it

You never did

Take back everything you said

You never meant a word of it

You never did



She said, 'Alright, alright slow down'

Oh no, oh no we won't

Cause I regret everything that I said

To ever make her feel like she was something special

Or that she ever really mattered

Or did she ever really matter?



Hollywood hills and suburban thrills and you

Who are you kidding?

I'm not like them

I won't buy it

Hollywood hills and suburban thrills

Just don't count on the summer

Don't quit till your forty-seven

Then we'll turn it up and we'll play a little faster



Take back everything you ever said

You never meant a word of it

You never did

Take back everything you said

You never meant a word of it

You never did



I'm not sayin' that I'm not breakin' some hearts tonight, girl

Oh, I'm not sayin' that I'm not breakin' some hearts tonight, girl



Alright, alright, slow down



Take back everything you ever said

You never meant a word of it

You never did

Take back everything you said

You never meant a word of it

You never did



Hollywood hills and suburban thrills,

Hey you, who are you kidding?

I'm not like them. I won't buy in.

Hollywood hills and suburban thrills,

Hey you, who are you kidding?

I'm not like them. I won't buy in.
