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 sraight 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.

(instrumental)

Well the cold hard truth is up to you...

So if you ever wish that your wish wan'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.
