about

It is about washed up Hollywood people. I hope I'm not one of them.

lyrics

Frankenstein and the Aliens
Lay around and they watch TV
Tend to dwell on the glory days
Never got rich off the silver screen

They decay quietly off Mulholland drive
Nobody knows or cares if they're still alive

Frankenstein and the Aliens
The Wolfman calling the Mummy's bluff
Play poker with residuals
At Dracula's house on Thursday nights

Never took over the world but they're still around
Slowly passed out of sight without a sound

 This wasn’t a sad life… It’s just another job, now
 It wasn’t a bad life… but expectations will not allow
 Dog, kids and the old wife… to fulfill dreams of stardom
 Say it wasn’t so nice, oh now I beg your pardon

Frankenstein and the Aliens
Talking about the comeback trail
Nobody knows what they're on about
Might as well face it they're doomed to fail

Sit back and wonder where everything went wrong
Just can't seem to admit that their time's long gone

Carl's changing up pronouns
Morty's wasting away on pills
Oscar's stuck in the bottle
Donnie struggles to make the bills

Hollywood's lights have faded away somehow
Just can't seem to live in the here and now
