Hollywood Promises Lyrics - Billy Idol

I need a name 

A place in the game 

A way to sustain 

My stake in the frame 

Then Hollywood 

You come callin' 

Oh, fickle fate 

Will it happen too late? 

With the morning sun 

Will I be done, or in Hollywood? 

And she starts bawlin' 

I'm talkin' 'bout the weatherman 

With his golden tan 

Has a master plan 

He's talkin' 'bout Hollywood 

Hollywood promises 

Now I live in the hills 

On whiskey and pills 

And inside my head 

I vanquish the dead 

And Hollywood 

She's rewardin' 

Well I'm riding the wave 

Yes, and rock and roll saves 

And right to the top 

And down I'll drop 

And Hollywood 

You come crawlin' 

Talkin' 'bout the actor man 

Who needs a chance 

But he's cleaning vans 

I'm talkin' 'bout hooker bars 

And the crazy cars 

Searchin' for the stars 

I'm talkin' 'bout Hollywood 

Hollywood promises 

Hollywood promises is it a dream? 

Hollywood promises, another crazy 

Hollywood promises is it a dream? 

Hollywood promises, another crazy 

Star star star 

You're a star star star 

You're a star star star 

You're a star! 

Am I inside a trap? 

Just a star on the map? 

Am I failin' in my dreams? 

Torn apart at the seams 

In Hollywood 

And she's still callin' 

Talkin' 'bout 

The screamin' fans 

Holdin' out their hands 

It's all empty man 

I'm talkin' 'bout the city fools 

And the swimming pools 

Get the crazy blues 

I'm talkin' 'bout the studio head 

Telling me I'm dead 

Get out of Babylon, yeah 

Talkin' 'bout Hollywood 

Hollywood promises
