Ain't it just like the movies
Pull the trigger with a kiss
Smoking barrel on the water
Moonlight 'cross a lover's wrist
Ain't it just like the movies
Stars reloading, shoot and miss
Thigh to thigh beside the river
Watching heaven's crossfire hiss
Ain't it just like a love song
Can you hear the violins
Car alarms and sirens sounding
Chest pounding, just breathing
Ain't it just like a love song
Far and near the city sings
Distant whispered vows resounding
On the water and the wind
I need you where you are
The way you are
We're in the Hollywood phase
In the Hollywood phase
We're in the Hollywood phase
I'm counting the days
Til the feeling fades
We're in the Hollywood phase
Show me your spirit, show your soul
Can you forgive it if I lose control right now
In a rock'n'roll freakout
There's something different going down
Show me you're with it, bright and bold
I'm gonna hit it til the night falls on me
Til I'm a rock'n'roll zombie
Shaking in the grave
In the Hollywood phase
The Hollywood phase
No way
Ain't it just like a romance
I can read it in your eyes
Sighs and silence cycle aimless
Famous phrases memorised
Ain't it just like a romance
Favourite pages' corners torn
Thigh to thigh beside the river
Words will rise and meet the dawn
