Pre Code Hollywood

Jonathan Bree

Compositor: Nile Rodgers / Jonathan Bree

When you've had enough of screaming inside
When you've had enough of losing your mind
When you need a certain devotee
Know that you can always come and find me

In the corner booth of a speakeasy
I watch your lips but I'll never get your language
I don't really care what they may think
Take a sip and recline let me show you that I'm

Your freak, your freak
Your man of a thousand faces
Your lon chaney
Your pre-code Hollywood

Your freak, your freak
Your gen x slacker zero, your antihero
Your pre-code Hollywood

There's no freedom left in speaking your mind
If you want a career to get by
Tricky business being a troubadour
Now we're living through 1984

In the corner booth of a speakeasy
I watch your lips but I'll never get your language
I don’t really care what they may think
Take a sip and recline let me show you that I'm

Your freak, your freak
Your man of a thousand faces
Your lon chaney
Your pre-code Hollywood

Your freak, your freak
Your gen x slacker zero, your antihero
Your pre-code Hollywood
