Upside-down Hollywood
Where the stars come to rest
Her skidmarks are salted away
Doubtless for the best
Upside-down Hollywood
Where the stars break their fall
She drains another thermos cup
Feeling four feet tall
Love for her is poison oak
Gets worse every time
She tells herself another joke
Leaves out the final line
Upside-down Hollywood
A baking soda town
She dreams of being Robin Hood
Feels more like Charlie Brown
She runs into a mirror
Bangs her nose real bad
Undecorates her interior
Uncorks a memory of her dad
Upside-down Hollywood
Where the stars all burn out
She flares up for a moment …
