From the birds eye view of the sky patrol
People look like ants that crawl
Through the sprawl and the sights
Palm trees and red brake lights
Two job commuters with mortgaged homes
With salaries just to pay off loans
On their phones on a break
Their only chance to isolate
Sirens sing in the midday sun
Cars backfire and the crack of a gun
On the run from the past
Anyone can be a star
Hollywoodland
in Hollywoodland
Hollywoodland
in Hollywoodland
On the sun kissed sand and concrete streets
Where devils play and angels weep
Asleep on the hill
I never thought I’d be here still
It’s the riot city where the fires rage
And fantasies leap off the page
To the stage and the screen
Filling heads with long lost dreams
Art Deco theatres on the boulevard
A concrete river with abandoned cars
There’s stars to follow
But everyone needs a dollar
Hollywoodland
