I tried to leave a note, but didn't want to cry,
I'm leaving town, but not saying goodbye
I'm following my calling, not sure if for good,
Just know that I love you, but I'm off to Hollywood.

Was dropped off on Gower, didn't know what it meant
Nothing but tourists and beggars around rusted cement
There's star filled sidewalks, a dead flower vase
A girl wearing fishnets on a scarred pretty face
Her tongue hangs out over sick black lips
Hollywood's so wicked, so dark, yet so hip

Woke up on a bench, somewhere near Vine
There's something so queer, so cool yet divine
Hollywood's a place, where no one's near
nobody's home, but everyone's here
Stranger than strange is the norm down here

Where time stands still, where time's no friend
Where turning 23 is the incipience of the end
It's how it is, in Tinsel it says, where nothin's spoken, nothin's said
Worshiping idols, long since dead

And I... I'm living on a street of tears, so far away from you out here
trying not to live my fears... But now, I'm never gonna leave this game
I want glory for my name, cause my cancer's fame

There's commotion, emotion, but never devotion
endless desire, but nobody hires
Walking down Melrose, a fashionable place
Can't buy a thing, no money to waste

Burning spoons with idols, in a dark empty place
A dagger for safety, fishnet for my face
Psychotic achievers are the new kings
Killing their mentors, scorching young dreams
Screwing believers and scores of dreamers
Teach them the scene and hook them on string

Rainbow's on Sunset , and a bar in the Sky
Marmont 's the Marshall, Whiskey's a ride
New scene is WeHo, no judgmental dissent
Everyone plays without secerning intent

Sing clubs in a band, stage on the streets
Go clean if I could, just to bring me peace
So I'm here for a year or maybe for good
How do you know? On the streets of Hollywood

And I... I'm living on a street of tears, so far away from you out here,
trying not to live my fears... But now, I'm never gonna leave this game
I want glory for my name, cause my cancer's fame

And I...never gonna dry these tears, till the day you are here
In a place called Hollywood. And I'm living for a chance to be
delusions in a concrete scene, in the city of eternity ### For more music by Lora G, please go to: http://www.LoraGmusic.com
