Lyrics The Ghost of the Chateau Marmont - Lady Rizo

THE GHOST OF THE CHATEAU MARMONT

There's a place lost in time
Where the palm trees and vines
Rustle under an empty blue sky.

Where successes and fakes
Go to make their mistakes
Far away from the cruel public eye.

Past the red velvet rope
Pink champagne, lines of coke,
See a star, catch a glimpse of a thigh.

But behind every thrill
Lies the terrible chill
Of a dream that refuses to die.

Now and forever,
Prisoner of Babylon
Pray that you'll never
Meet the Ghost of the Chateau Marmont.

She was shiny and new
Not so different from you
Wide-eyed and fresh off the farm

Golden hair, warm as honey,
She didn't have money,
But could light up a room with her charm.

But her soul was no match
For a town that could snatch
Up your hopes and give none in return.

Casting couches and pills
Are as certain to kill
As the Hollywood Hills are to burn.

Now and forever,
Prisoner of Babylon
Pray that you'll never
Meet the Ghost of the Chateau Marmont.

Night after night, she wanders the halls
Searching for fortune and fame.
Should her life sound familiar at all
You never knew her by name.

Now and forever,
Prisoner of Babylon
Pray that you'll never
Meet the Ghost of the Chateau Marmont.

Pray that you'll never
Meet the Ghost of the Chateau Marmont.

Night after night, she wanders the halls
Searching for fortune and fame.
Should her life sound familiar at all
You wouldn't know her by name.

Now and forever,
Prisoner of Babylon
Pray that you'll never
Be a Ghost of the Chateau Marmont.

Pray that you'll never
Be a Ghost of the Chateau Marmont.
