Marriage Made in Hollywood Lyrics - Bonnie Raitt

1 Jimmy's not a high concept guy

2 But he's front page news, let me tell you why

3 He's on the cover of the New York Post

4 Every network coast to coast

5 All he needed was a hot night in June

6 'Cause he had the needle and he had the spoon

7 When he spiked, it bit, and, man, he flew

8 Into America's living room

9 We all love tragedy

10 And it loves us too

11 It's a marriage made in Hollywood

12 Between greed and you

13 All you need to be a star

14 Is to die in open view

15 It's a marriage made in Hollywood

16 Between greed and you

17 Between greed and you

18 Between greed and you

19 Loved by women, admired by men

20 He walked down Broadway with his best friend

21 Brain was wired like a light in a socket

22 With his old friend in his back pocket

23 That horse could kick, that horse could scream

24 Ride you outta here into a different scence

25 Unrequited love and that makes it fair

26 But who keeps score when you're in midair

27 We all love tragedy

28 It loves us too

29 It's a marriage made in Hollywood

30 Between greed and you

31 All you need to be a star

32 Is to die in open view

33 It's a marriage made in Hollywood

34 Between greed and you

35 Between greed and you

36 Between greed and you

37 Like a freefall 'chute that didn't open

38 He looked down to see his dream was broken

39 Stared back up at a hot gray sky

40 Ran his life and then he died

41 Well, if you jump off a building, brother, beware

42 'Cause my friend Jimmy woke up midair

43 No time to smile, no time to wave

44 They buried him in a media grave

45 We all love tragedy

46 It loves us too

47 It's a marriage made in Hollywood

48 Between greed and you

49 All you need to be a star

50 Is to die in open view

51 It's a marriage made in Hollywood

52 Between greed and you

53 Between greed and you

54 Between greed and you

55 It's a tragedy
