Wrong Way to Hollywood

He walked into a Mexican restaurant
Looking for some pills
She shivered on Cahuenga and Yucca
She couldn't shake the chills
An old man walked out of the Greyhound station
"Where did my wallet go?"
Jimmy, thirteen, lost and last seen
His mother will never know

He took the wrong way, the wrong way to Hollywood
He took the wrong way

A five alarm blaze where blondes die young
It's a g-string girls revenge
Three boys bait on S&M and Highland
For family men
First, she says it’s just like Berlin
She’s an idiot girl
Give the people what they want
It’s one man against the world
The old soft vest goes on and on
The chump is down for the count
And the one who lasts the longest gets the screen test at Paramount

He took the wrong way, the wrong way to Hollywood
He took the wrong way, the wrong way to Hollywood
He took the wrong way

A flash of nausea, a trembling hand
Falling where we stood
We'll go sleeping down in a shallow doorway grave
Lay me down in Hollywood

He took the wrong way, the wrong way to Hollywood
He took the wrong way, the wrong way to Hollywood
He took the wrong way, the wrong way to Hollywood
The wrong way to Hollywood
