Hollywood demonology
 Sound the seventh parade of vanity
 We built this city
 For pleasure and sin
 We love in self-pity
 The light is getting dim
 Accelerate the dead tonight
 Embrace this
 My stage fright

 I saw a thought, an intent
 Now everybody cries
 We'll wait and stop for the dead
 Now everybody talks

 Hollywood demonology
 Hey baby!
 Say hello to tragedy
 I bare my guilt in my worship
 I indulge in your fame
 Only myself to blame
 Accelerate the dead tonight
 Embrace this
 My stage fright

 I saw a thought, an intent
 Now everybody cries
 We'll wait and stop for the dead
 Now everybody talks

 Of revenge and conspiracy
 Of love and lunacy
 The dawn of the dead
 Has arrived over Hollywood

 I saw a thought, an intent
 We'll wait and stop for the dead
 I saw a thought, an intent
 Now everybody cries
 We'll wait and stop for the dead
 Now everybody talks

 Of revenge and conspiracy
 Of love and lunacy
 The dawn of the dead
