Hollywood Is High
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 high
Hollywood is high
Hollywood is high
Hollywood is high
Sunset's low
All the wood is dry
No place to go
Hollywood is high
Sunset's low
Cars all pass by
With no place to go
And I don't wanna have fun
Fun always lets me down
And I don't wanna stay young
And always be just hangin' round
Sir where do they sell this magazine?
Calculation to excite
And sir you can tell it's not obscene
Penetration in black and white
And I don't wanna look
Lookin' always let me down
And all the paths he forsook
Only left him hangin' round
L.A.
From the valley to the shore
It's OK
But I don't want nothing from you anymore
Hollywood is high
Sunset's low
Do not ask why
Thomas Guide says so
And I don't wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna have fun
Fun it always lets me down
And I don't wanna stay young
You know I'd be just be hangin' 'round
Hollywood is high
Hollywood is high
Hollywood is high
Hollywood is high
