Lyrics I Went to Hollywood - Trampled By Turtles

I Went to Hollywood

I went to Hollywood
The timing was peculiar
Palm trees like you said there was
The Viper Room was open
Saw your face in the window there
Like a light from everywhere
I went to Hollywood
And I barely got out
I cut my teeth in the middle west
But I was born to ramble
Hit the brakes and I pull to the left
And every day is a battle
Pointed west and I hit the road
Where the streets are paved with gold
I got to Hollywood
I pulled over and cried
Thought that I might meet a movie star
Ended up flat-drunk in the Rainbow bar
Now everybody moved to Silverlake
And no one sent a letter
The rent is high but the view is great
I guess they like it better
Spent the night on the street alone
Guess that I’ll just head back home
I went to Hollywood
But I showed up too late
