hollywood perfume

i went out on the balcony in the middle of the night

the hotel was dark except for just one light

television burning in the other room

i couldn't sleep so i put on some of your

hollywood perfume

i went out on the balcony and looked across the way

some guy was shadow boxing

he looked like sugar ray

i was feeling dizzy - began to swoon

was it his punch or was it just your

hollywood perfume?

i feel like a fugitive escaped from my life

seeking refuge in the sensual heat

these paper-thin walls make me party to calls

of love wafting through the room

the night jasmine bloom

of your hollywood perfume

i went out on the balcony to clear my head

i was burning up in my queen-sized bed

down on the strip beneath the billboard moon

teenaged girls look for love in the

neon sex and doom

of your hollywood perfume

i went out on the balcony with your photograph

i dropped it in the pool and that made me laugh

you like your tan but you don't like to swim

meanwhile i feel like i'm drowning in

neon sex and doom

the night jasmine bloom

of your hollywood perfume
