Billy Idol - Hollywood Promises lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

I need a name, a place in the game

A way to sustain my stake in the frame

Then Hollywood ya come calling

Oh, fickle fate, will it happen too late?

With the morning sun, will I be done

Or in Hollywood? & she starts bawlin'

(Chorus)

I’m talking bout the weatherman

With his golden tan, has a master plan

He’s talking bout Hollywood

Hollywood promises

(Verse 2)

Now I live in the hills on whiskey and pills

And inside my head I vanquish the dead

And Hollywood she’s rewarding

Well I’m riding the wave

Yes, and rock and roll saves

And right to the top & down I’ll drop

And Hollywood ya come crawling

(Chorus)

Talking bout the actor man who needs a chance

But he’s cleaning vans I’m talking bout hooka bars

And the crazy cars searching for the stars

I’m talking bout Hollywood Hollywood promises

(Bridge)

Hollywood promises is it a dream?

Hollywood promises, anotha crazy

Hollywood promises is it a dream?

Hollywood promises, anotha crazy

Star star star

You’re a star star star

You’re a star star star

You’re a star

Am I inside a trap? Just a star on the map?

Am I failing in my dreams? Torn apart at the seams

In Hollywood & she’s still calling

(Chorus)

Talking bout the screaming fans

Holding out their hands it’s all empty man

I’m talking bout the city fools

And the swimming pools get the crazy blues

I’m talking ‘bout the studio head

Telling me I’m dead get out of Babylon, yeah

Talking bout Hollywood Hollywood promises
