[Verse 1]
Cause of death unknown
Gone in an instant
You've made the headlines before
But this one's different
Rhinestones and limousines
You've got an expensive name
They got to know you from the silver screen
'Till you fell from grace

[Pre-Chorus]
Who are you after you die?

[Chorus]
Put your stage name on your tombstone
Did Norma Jean die long ago?
Even in death, you put on a show
At Hollywood Forever Cemetery
Long ago, you sold your soul
To get played on the radio
They left your body down below
At Hollywood Forever Cemetery

Hollywood forever, Hollywood forever
Hollywood forever, Hollywood forever

[Verse 2]
Broke your arm as a kid
Tripped and chipped a tooth
At fifteen, crashed your dad's car
And had a secret tattoo
Dust settled in your front yard
And you got too proud
Traded scratch-offs for black cards
And hitchhiked outta town

[Pre-Chorus]
Who are you after you die?
[Chorus]
Put your stage name on your tombstone
Did Norma Jean die long ago?
Even in death, you put on a show
At Hollywood Forever Cemetery
Long ago, you sold your soul
To get played on the radio
They left your body down below
At Hollywood Forever Cemetery

Hollywood forever, Hollywood forever
Hollywood forever, Hollywood forever

[Outro]
Put your stage name on your tombstone
Did Norma Jean die long ago?
Even in death, you put on a show
At Hollywood Forever Cemetery
