[rev. May 28, 2015]

Hollywood in winter
You're supposed to show
Tonight too slight to hold the happy
Hope of life at all

Sunset loves me tender
Flowing with the go
Tonight's too light to hide inside
The yes that follows no

So I say maybe

Not to mention
The mansion of the aching hearts
(Hollywood in winter)
A blue dimension
The mansion of the aching hearts
(Hollywood in winter)

Hollywood in winter
Someone at the door
He used to live here years ago
But that was long before

You built the mansion
The mansion of the aching hearts
(Hollywood in winter)
I never mention
The mansion of the aching hearts
(Hollywood in winter)

Hollywood in winter
Somewhere far below
Action camera preaching
Practice thinking small

In its yellowed splendor
Ghosts all steal the show
Still I'm too slight to hold the happy
Hope of life at all

So I say maybe

Here in the mansion
The mansion of the aching hearts
(Hollywood in winter)
That blue dementia
The mansion of the aching hearts
(Hollywood in winter)

[These 2 lines are repeatedly sung in the background starting at 3:44]
(All my love from Hollywood
Hollywood in winter)

[Spoken Part]
I ...uhh... heard about this... this guy, you know, he was umm...
working and he always knew I kinda ...?... [3:16]
Uhh... he was a car salesman, but he had this woman boss
So he's... ooh, I don't know...
So he goes, uhh...
"Sh-She said she had to talk to you about something,
so she ...?... [3:33]
And then she says, "Take a breath." And he does.
And then, uhh... she says, "Hold your palms up and repeat after me:
I'm open to all the good things in the universe."
And so he says, "I'm open to all the good things in the universe."
And then she says, "There is more than enough money in this world for me."
So he says, "There is more than enough money in this world for me."
? [4:11]
So lady-like. Another thing... she forgot her ? [4:20]
...?...
...she says, "Pray to God that stupid, stupid... fuck!
I'm not gettin' in your bed..."
...?...
