Shooting Star - Hollywood lyrics

rate me

She grew up reading every magazine<br />

Of rags to riches worlds<br />

She lost her heart to do the American dream<br />

Of Hollywood<br />

<br />

She used to dream about love<br />

Her youth was lived out like on a stage<br />

<br />

She left the boring world she knew at home<br />

And made her star struck way<br />

But something there was lost along the road<br />

To Hollywood<br />

<br />

She used to dream about love<br />

Her youth was lived out like on a stage<br />

<br />

But these days she hits the strip tonight<br />

All the names in lights, and the games to play<br />

She speeds around and drives uptown<br />

And pulls out all the stops, she'll hit the top someday<br />

Loves New York and California nights<br />

And the glamour life of the celluloid stage<br />

<br />

She takes advantage of her long blonde hair<br />

Lord I know it's so damn true<br />

We used to sit and talk she'd hold my hand<br />

She'd hold my hand<br />

<br />

She used to love me<br />

I used to love her gentle ways<br />

<br />

But these days she hits the strip at night<br />

All the names in lights, and the games to play<br />

She speeds around and drives uptown<br />

And pulls out all the stops<br />

She'll hit the top someday, someday<br />

She's got the face and the lips and the legs<br />

That fit mid-America's apple pie ways<br />

Sells herself to the producer's couch<br />

Feeling down and out on the streets of L.A.<br />

And while she's down she's fun to walk on<br />

Until she's dead, they all wonder why<br />

The applause is not for her but for the silver screen<br />

And manufactured dreams to make you cry<br />

So come on give us one more, come on, one more time<br />

Before the hitting the bars on the boulevard<br />

<br />

And never fear everyone's a star in Hollywood<br />

<br />

She used to dream about love<br />

Her youth was lived out like on a stage
