marriage made in hollywood

Singer:paul brady

jimmy's not a high concept guy

but he's front page news

let me tell you why

he's on the cover of the new york post

all three networks

coast to coast

all he needed was a hot night in june

'cause he had the needle and he had the spoon

when he spiked it bit

and man

he flew

into america's living room

we all love tragedy

it loves us too

it's a marriage made in hollywood

between greed and you

all you need to be a star is to die in open view

it's a marriage made in hollywood

between greed and you

between greed and you

between greed and you

loved by women

admired by men

he walked down broadway with his best friend

his brain was wired like a light in a socket

with his old friend in his back pocket

that horse could kick

that horse could scream

ride you out of here into a different scene

unrequited love

that makes it fair

but who keeps score when you're in mid-air?

we all love tragedy

it loves us too

it's a marriage made in hollywood

between greed and you

all you need to be a star is to die in open view

it's a marriage made in hollywood

between greed and you

between greed and you

between greed and you

like a free-fall chute that didn't open

he looked down to see his dream was broken

he stared back up at a hot grey sky

re-run his life and then he died

well if you jump off a building

brother beware!

cause my friend jimmy woke up mid-air

no time to smile

no time to wave

they buried him in a media grave

we all love tragedy

it loves us too

it's a marriage made in hollywood

between greed and you

all you need to be a star is to die in open view

it's a marriage made in hollywood

between greed and you

between greed and you

between greed and you
