Hollywood Apocalypse

You were no one when you got here You’ll be no one when you leave Johnny coming lately But no one is deceived You want to claim the kingdom But the circus gates are closed You’re living in nostalgia For a world you didn’t know The glitz and glamour faded A city bought and sold Some history to dream of While the corpse is getting cold Nobody will remember The days you came and went Nobody will remember Who you fucked and what you dreamt You’re a Hollywood apocalypse Not quite a shooting star Twinkle, twinkle little bitch Just a shadow in bar Everything you dreamed of Was dead before you came Just another born too late Crawling the walk of fame All glamour is nostalgia Tinseltown’s in pain The legends dead and buried You can’t dig them up again The sunset strip is shining But the scene is in decay You can keep the dead light flickering But this dog won’t have it’s day You are nothing but a shadow Of the greats already gone Just a picture of a picture And someone else’s song You can chase the ghost of greatness Down the boulevard of dreams Standing on the edge of hell Ignoring all the screams You can sit on corners dreaming Of better lays and better days But the emptiness comes calling Since you’re living on a grave Nobody will remember And it’s just a total shame Nobody will remember Where you went and what you made Hollywood forever Cemetery streets Sunset boiling Everything bleeds Hollywood burning The dream is dead Last fool standing Until the end
