Hollywood Hopeful |
| I am a full fledged, grown-up adult |
| I’m tryin' make a dent, tryin' to get a result |
| I’m hold up in a Hollywood hotel suite |
| Tequila to drink and avocado to eat |
| They got all kinds of victories and lots of downfalls |
| They got drugs in the rugs and ghosts in the walls |
| Starlets in the lobby that can make a man drool |
| Blood on the curtains and a phone by the pool |
| Well, I never did see so many TV stars |
| And I never did see so many rented cars |
| I never did see so many desperate eyes |
| And I never did hear so many bold faced lies |
| When I was ten years old, I was alive |
| And the Benedict Canyon down on Hutton Drive |
| Well, now I’m right back in my old backyward |
| And I’m tryin' to get a billboard on the boulevard |
| I’m tryin' to get a billboard on the boulevard |
| Well, I never thought I’d see the age of twenty-five |
| And it’s been twenty-eight years now that I’ve been alive |
| And in a matter of months I will be thirty years old |
| And the apprehension that I feel can hardly be told |
| I am a full fledged, grown-up adult |
| I’m tryin' make a dent, tryin' to get a result |
| I’m hold up in a Hollywood hotel suite |
| Tequila to drink and avocado to eat |
| Tequila to drink and avocado to eat |
