Lyrics
Intro
Mm
Mm-hmm
Oh
Verse 1
Neon names above the theaters
Rolling down the boulevard
Cadillac with a shine like water
Floating past where I sleep hard
Bright marquees spill their warmest glory
Right across my cardboard floor
Pre-Chorus
And they see the starlets laughing
They don't see me anymore
Chorus
Hollywood and Sunset
Same old crowd in new disguise
Hollywood and Sunset
Watching all the world go by
Verse 2
Palm trees bowing to the mansion
Stilted towers block the sun
Tourists snap their flashing cameras
Never mind the lonely one
A waitress pours a coffee for me
Tells me sugar keeps me warm
Pre-Chorus
And the jukebox keeps on spinning
Through the city's endless storm
Chorus
Hollywood and Sunset
Same old crowd in new disguise
Hollywood and Sunset
Watching all the world go by
Bridge
Rich men counting all their treasure
Me, I count the hours slow
Standing naked in the flashing billboards
Catching every borrowed glow
Yeah, they're starving on a silver table
While I'm starving on the floor
Chorus
Hollywood and Sunset
Same old crowd in new disguise
Hollywood and Sunset
Watching all the world go by
Outro
Mm-mm
Watching it go by
Mm-mm
Hollywood and Sunset
