lyrics

In the shadows of the Hollywood sign, the stars down there don’t shine all too bright
They’re spilling drinks down on the hardwood floor,
Crying to the man ‘til he brings them some more

The glamour down here aint quite so high end
And nobody here considers anyone a friend
The comfort blanket soon disappeared
Just coz you made your first million, what makes you think you belong here?

‘I’ll keep her safe, he promised her mama
When he picked her up down in Louisiana
‘I’ll put her in the pictures I’ll make her a star
The boys will love her she’ll go real far’

Those black and white stills made the girls want to cry
Those black and white stills made the boys want to pry
And pry they did, struck while the iron was hot
And you had no choice, but to show ‘em what you got.

She cried about, the promise he made her mama
When he picked her up down in Louisiana
He said ‘I cant protect you from all of the things you brought on yourself
Didn’t I put you in the pictures bring you fame, glamour, and wealth’

So she stepped to the side decided to be herself
Away from the glamour the fame and the wealth
But she got caught she stands alone in the street
Struggling under the weight of disappointment and defeat

In the shadows of the Hollywood Sign,
The stars down there don’t shine all too bright
She can’t afford the train back to Louisiana,
Nor has she the words to explain to her mama

What happened to her
