Lyrics
Picture Show Life
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.
Hollywood is waltzing,
Doin' that double talking.
Anything they could do
To make it through another l.a. night.
And can you imagine
All those girls are strolling
All the boys are holding.
They're doing their best to
Make it through another l.a. night,
In a picture show life.
In their own little world,
In their own little space,
They can be who they want to
In their own little place.
Hollywood is reeling,
With the double meaning.
Anything they could say to
Make it through another l.a. night.
And can you imagine
All the girls are smiling,
All the boys are trying.
Anything they can take to
Burn away another l.a. night,
In a picture show life.
They win and they lose,
And they pick and they choose,
They've been dancing for so long,
What else can they do?
Hollywood is rocking,
Doin' the double talking.
Anything they can do
To make it through another l.a. night.
And can you imagine
All those girls are strolling
All those boys are holding.
They're doing their best to
Make it through another l.a. night,
In a picture show life.
In their own little world,
In their own little space,
They can be who they want to
In their own little place.
They can be who they want to
In their own little place.
They can be who they want to.
