Jimmy's not a high concept guy But he's front page news, let me tell you why He's on the cover of the New York Post Every network coast to coast All he needed was a hot night in June 'Cause he had the needle and he had the spoon When he spiked, it bit, and, man, he flew Into America's living room We all love tragedy And it loves us too It's a marriage made in Hollywood Between greed and you All you need to be a star Is to die in open view It's a marriage made in Hollywood Between greed and you Between greed and you Between greed and you Loved by women, admired by men He walked down Broadway with his best friend Brain was wired like a light in a socket With his old friend in his back pocket That horse could kick, that horse could scream Ride you outta here into a different scence Unrequited love and that makes it fair But who keeps score when you're in midair We all love tragedy It loves us too It's a marriage made in Hollywood Between greed and you All you need to be a star Is to die in open view It's a marriage made in Hollywood Between greed and you Between greed and you Between greed and you Like a freefall 'chute that didn't open He looked down to see his dream was broken Stared back up at a hot gray sky Ran his life and then he died Well, if you jump off a building, brother, beware 'Cause my friend Jimmy woke up midair No time to smile, no time to wave They buried him in a media grave We all love tragedy It loves us too It's a marriage made in Hollywood Between greed and you All you need to be a star Is to die in open view It's a marriage made in Hollywood Between greed and you Between greed and you Between greed and you It's a tragedy
