Get there early, they say,
though no one's coming till midday
Eager eyed and willing,
you're in everybody's way
and no one wants to tell you,
what's real about this town
They like to watch the new fish drown
They say we'll never find our voices
but I can make it, I'll push on through it
Said we can't act past fifteen minutes
but I can fake it, I'll fight on through
This winter in Hollywood
always winter in Hollywood
but I'll shine out like I should, like I should
They're selling dreams away,
and the deal isn't always great
Silver screens are shining,
it's bright on our face
and we build our bodies after theirs,
so we can take their place
Got to get there, before it's too late
They say we'll never find our voices
but I can make it, I'll push on through it
Said we can't act past fifteen minutes
but I can fake it, I'll fight on through
This winter in Hollywood
always winter in Hollywood
but I'll shine out like I should
As the palm trees stand in fog and haze
As the beaches stretch for days and days
While 'the sign' is starving our pains away
You are just one block away from your big break
your heartache, your biggest mistake
Said we can never find our voices
but I can make it, I'll push on through it
Said we can't act past fifteen minutes
but I can fake it, I'll fight on through
This winter in Hollywood
always winter in Hollywood
and I'll shine out like I should
They say we'll never find our voices
but I can make it, I'll push on through it
Said we can't act past fifteen minutes
but I can fake it, I'll fight on through
This winter in Hollywood
always winter in Hollywood
but I'll shine out like I should, like I should
like I should
(silver screens are shining)
