North Hollywood Lyrics - What Were You Hoping For - Van Hunt

North Hollywood, North Hollywood 

That's my neighborhood 

Hollywood, Holly, North Hollywood 

Girl, you got me hooked 

I know you wish you could 

Live in my neighborhood 

Home of low and high life crooks 

So misunderstood 

Not in Death Valley but in the Valley of Death 

There sits an oasis of concentrated goodness 

Where I disappear and the next sound you hear 

Is a melody over a vicious beat 

North Hollywood, North Hollywood 

That's my neighborhood 

She was taken in a Mexican raid 

Girl, you got me hooked

I know you wish you could 

Live in my neighborhood 

First stop on the subway train 

So misunderstood 

There are no more secrets after you've been evicted 

Your story sits on abandoned couches 

Politics of the kids in the low level bounce houses 

Mark the world as just a skate park 

North Hollywood, North Hollywood 

That's my neighborhood 

For the glamor of her sister's fame 

Her name was changed 

I know you wish you could 

Live in my neighborhood 

Holly is just as she always was 

A complicated love child 

She shook the American dreamer 

And she stole my heart 

Photos 

Emerging starlets, dressed virginesque 

Know the fastest way to a man's pocket is on his rocket 

Hot red schemes to steal the scene in the dreams 

Of the men who make the movies 

North Hollywood, North Hollywood 

That's my neighborhood 

She may not win your heart with just one look 

But girl, you got me hooked 

I know you wish you could 

Live in my neighborhood 

The crown jewel of saboteurs 

Holly remains pure
