He's a mover, he's a shaker. He's a big money maker Spit and shine on his alligator shoes Doin' what he's doin', headed straight for ruin And he doesn't even have a clue The hollow man hasn't asked where it all happens Gotta window on the forty-second floor Whoever would have thought it turns out the only thing he wanted Ain't the thing he was lookin' for Sometimes he wishes that the wish wasn't granted Wonderin' how he ever got disenchanted Holdin' on to the good life, and he can't stand it Well, everybody leaves here empty handed A small town beauty queen, livin' on amphedimines Hangin' in the Hollywood Hills She got herself famous in the City of the Angel's With the help of the devil and the pills And daddy was a preacher, even Jesus couldn't reach her She's a victim of another disease She's done a lot of purgin' and she's had a lot of surgery A searchin' for what she needs Sometimes she wishes that the wish wasn't granted Wonderin' how she ever got disenchanted Holdin' on to the good life, but she can't stand it Well, everybody leaves here empty handed Well, the cold hard truth is up to you... So, if you ever wish that your wish wasn't granted Wonderin' how you ever got disenchanted Holdin' on to the good life, but you can't stand it Well, everybody leaves here empty handed Well, empty handed Empty handed Well, everybody leaves here empty handed Empty handed Empty handed
