They built an empire
On the hollywood vampire
Then they drained his blood
They let him die

Glamour turns to history
Fame and fortune now a mystery
Shadow of a superstar
Cheap thrills in the back seat of my car

All alone
A legends last goodbye
Nothing left
Just the chance to get high one more time

Bela was a junkie
Left alone with a monkey
Bela was a junkie

Forced out, forgotten, ed by
No class no one by your side
Washed up, that's what they've labeled you
Your bitter words dismissed as foolish pride
