Rock And Roll Boomtown
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
On the great western shores of America
On the Santa Monica mountains
A city was built out of tinsel and silt
Hollywood
To cinema stars it was paradise
And the hype of it's glory spread east
Musicians came in for the sun and the sin
Of Hollywood
And for a while
We lived high
The records were spinning so fast
But the well soon ran dry
Platinum dreams
Shattered like glass in this
Rock and roll boom town
Hollywood lies
There's no gold on sunset
Just open your eyes
Rock and roll boom town
It's not as it seems
Cause scattered down sunset
Are pieces of dreams
Their record went gold on arrival
The billboards were shouting their names
They sailed on river of vinyl
While Evangeline made up her fame
And the palm trees swayed
Laurel Canyon played
The harmony rang like a chime
But parties and pills
And nose candy thrills
Were scheming to undo the vibe
Still we watch and repeat
Yet sometimes we wonder just why
Is it the lure of the street?
Is it something inside us?
We just can't deny in this
Rock and roll boom town
Hollywood lies
There's no gold on sunset
Just open your eyes
Rock and roll boom town
It's not as it seems
Cause scattered down sunset
Are pieces of dreams
The Roxy's alive
The Rainbow's on fire
The Whiskey is standing room only
And starting today
Straight from the U.K.
The Police will never be lonely
They're causing a scene
Sweet things in their teens
They gather at Rodny's tonight
And then gave a scream
The death of a dream
A psycho named Manson
Destroyed paradise
Rock and roll boom town
Hollywood lies
There's no gold on sunset
Just open your eyes
Rock and roll boom town
It's not as it seems
Cause scattered down sunset
Are pieces of dreams
Rock and roll boom town
Hollywood lies
There's no gold on sunset
Just open your eyes
