Please don't be too long while you're gone 
There ain't enough to keep me 
here too long 
Not like the last time I stood in line 
Just enough to keep 
me bouncing off the wall, yeah 

The new day, the new tray that comes 
around 
Pills and all, enough to kill him while he sleeps 
Is this the 
alley we dragged him to 
Just off of Hollywood and Normandy 

It didn't 
work like she said it would 
Just like livin in Hollywood 
Just like a bad 
dream, or so it seems 
Just like I'm back in emergency 

Please don't 
be too long while you're gone 
There ain't enough to keep me here too long 

Not like the last time I stood in line 
Just enough to keep me bouncing 
off the wall, yeah 

It didn't work like she said it would 
Just like 
livin in Hollywood 
Just like a bad dream, or so it seems 
Just like I'm 
back in emergency
