Through The Screen

The courtship stars out, where romance plays out

Over at my house, I'm on the couch

You're on the TV, not here with me

That's a problem, we can figure out

Sabotage fame, we need a scandal bad

So you can exit red carpet, enter drug rehab

When your looks go down the drain

And your career is through

Then I'll be there for you and you'll be there too.

Hollywood lights in my backyard

Your movie's great, my life is hard

Why can't you see through the screen

You came from nowhere and I still live there

They say life's not fair but I don't care

If there's a problem with my master plan

Fate can take it up with somebody who gives a damn

'Cause I got a lot to offer you minus the rent

It's another clear reason why you're heaven sent

And I know I'm not the one that you've been waiting for

But I want you more than anyone before

Hollywood lights in my backyard

Your movie's great, my life is hard

Why can't you see through the screen

Baby blue jean submarine

Your big shot just broke my dreams

Why can't you see through the screen

Suffer through the tabloids seeing you and Mr. Right

Living out your picture perfect life

Gold up in the hills while this loneliness just kills

Staring up into your name that's on the sign

Hollywood lights in my backyard

Your movie's great, my life is hard, is hard

Baby blue jean submarine

Your big shot just broke my dreams, my dreams

I could write a screenplay of a single perfect night

Soundtrack of Sinatra by moonlight

Masterpiece of prose with just one single red rose

When it all comes to a close you'll be mine, you'll be mine
