Lyrics
They come from everywhere, Looking for something they saw in the movies and wondered if it was real. The lost forgotten tired and hungry searching for some sort of recoginition. No one owes you nothing but that's allright. there's a place over there we can spend the night.
Hollywood Hospital welcomes you. Opens up it's doors to you. Sleep in the halls, write on the walls of Hollywood.
Check yourself in, there's a name on the door. You won't be needing it anymore. Monkey nurses dressed in black and army of angels with little red hats. Marilyn's dropping thoses little white pills and Judy, she's a candy stripe girl.
Hollywood Hospital welcomes you. Opens up it's doors to you. Sleep in the halls, write on the walls of Hollywood. (Repeat)
Mother's do you know where your children are tonight? Running wild in the street, Scattering like mice. Father's do you know where your daughters are today? Getting sick on a sidewalk in L.A.
For every star on Hollywood Blvd. There's a sidewalk of broken dreams. And for every silver screen sensation there's a shattered life of a faded movie queen. Celluloid Princess shopping in a garbage can. I know a place that won't ask.
Holly wood Hospital welcomes you. Opens up it's doors to you. Sleep in the halls, write on the walls of Hollywood. (Repeat)
