lyrics

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
