What were the unfinished lyrics for Hollywood Tonight?

You mean the bridge lyrics?

"She's a streetwalker at her age,
She's young and she's afraid.
She sells her body to get paid,
It's too much for a girl her age.
Police is stalking her today,
They now know she ran away.
She is running 'cause she's scared..."

"She doesn't even have a ticket,
She doesn't even have a way back.
She's lost and she's alone,
there's no place for her to go.
She is young and she is cold,
Just like her father told her so."

I think the third verse was the “she’s a streetwalker at her age” paragraph that ChanceToDance shared. It follows the established narrative of the song well (girl arrives in Hollywood, starts prostituting, winds up being chased by the police).

That's all the lyrics? So that's the bridge and the next verse leading up to the chorus?

If so that seems like it radically alters the progression of the song. It's certainly not just the first verse copied over. Also a much darker narrative than just, Hollywood Tonight. Way darker, an actual warning tale in fact.

I'm not so sure the third verse would hold up, I think the term street walker might be a little dated.
 
I'm not as big a fan of the third verse, as I am the bridge. I think the bridge works, I think the third verse is perhaps to on the nose

Maybe if he recorded them, they would have sounded great

True but it seems not to fit within the melody of the other verses..?

Also I kinda miss a verse before going to the chorus (or bridge), it seems to go there too fast..?
Such a shame this was never finished, it was promising

Yeah Michael did so many 'dark' songs.. With a lot of 'em 'disguised' as happy dance tracks

It's so weird to see he is regarded as a 'pop artist' actually. I mean he was hella popular allright, but I can't think of any other pop artist touching upon such profound and controversial themes like he did

It's more common than you think. But he's definitely the most "popular" of them all. Like so many like him as a person And an artist, not just respect his art or acknowledge it as good but not their thing.
 
I wonder if its possible to use AI to complete Hollywood. Even if it's not real or michael it would be interesting to hear how it could be

Boooo, he rhymed with "age" twice

Haha but to be fair, that wasn't recorded, 'One More Chance' was though :)

And I would walk around this world to find her
And I don't care what it takes no
Why
I'd sail the seven seas to be near her
And if you happen to see her
See tell her this from me
