Songtext Hollywood perfume The Pretenders

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
