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

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 in 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 a billboard moon

Teenaged girls looked 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 in bloom

Of your Hollywood perfume
