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 it's just that easy We learned to swim by watching you sink We learned to swim by watching you sink Hollywood came, yeah 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 won't hear a sound We learned to swim by watching you sink We learned to swim by watching you sink Hollywood came, yeah it got inside your head And ate you alive Hollywood came, yeah it got inside your head And ate you alive This city was built on cash and swagger I can tell you won't make it just by your stagger You try to leave you can't get away, get away Ask you to stay you wanna run away, 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 We learned to swim by watching you sink Hollywood came, yeah it got inside your head And ate you alive Hollywood came, yeah it got inside your head And ate you alive This city was built on cash and swagger I can tell you won't make it just by your stagger You try to leave you can't get away, get away Ask you to stay you wanna run away, run away All I've know has drifted from me Floating further, sinking slowly Just for a shot in the dark A shot in the dark We learned to swim by watching you sink We learned to swim by watching you sink Hollywood came, yeah it got inside your head And ate you alive Hollywood came, yeah it got inside your head And ate you alive This city was built on cash and swagger I can tell you won't make it just by your stagger You try to leave you can't get away, get away Ask you to stay you wanna run away, run away
