JANET JACKSON - Dream Street lyrics

rate me

And a bus comes in on the hollywood freeway in the dark

A face catches sight of homethough at this spirited town

Such a beating of the heart and a hope deep down inside

They say the streets are paved with gold

But it sure looks kind of cold outside

Steppin' on the sidewalk with the stars beneath her feet

Just a handful of touristsis all she's bound to meet

So tough to find a room and it takes more than a day

And it's not too nice and the price is high

Somehow she can't help but cry

In a world full of fantasiesreality can hurt

It's about the fictionthe odds won't go with her on

Chorus:

Dream streetdream street

Will it all come true? will it all just fade away

Dream streetdream street

Wellit's hard to find and

It won't let hope escape from dream street

A year goes byand the situation she can't stand

Came to be an actressbut a waitress is all she lands

Her colleague smiles at her through the wrinkles of her face

She came here toowith the self-same goals

She never got out of this place

She makes her mind upshe's gonna leave that very night

It's been so long now since she's felt that good inside

She calls the service linethere's a message in there for her

She's gotta star in a movie partsuddenly it's all worthwhile

Oh a little bit closer nowbut really still too far

Is it always out of reachthat bright and shiny star of

Repeat chorus
