          F                      Am
I've come on a few years from my Hollywood Highs
     E                              D
The best of the last the cleanest star they ever had
      F                     Am
I'm stiff on my legend the films that I made
    E
Forget that I'm fifty cause you just got paid

Chorus:
 Bm                A
Crack baby crack show me you're real
  G                      F#
Smack baby smack is that all that you feel
 Bm             A
Suck baby suck give me your head
   G                                     F#
Before you start professing that you're knocking me dead

You caught yourself a trick down on Sunset and Vine
But since he pinned you, baby, you're a porcupine
You sold me illusions for a sack full of cheques
You've made a bad connection 'cause I just want your sex

Chorus
