Hollywood Town Songtext
von Manfred Mann’s Earth Band

Down, down in Hollywood town
The lost and found come to find their way
Walking outside feelings they hide
Putting their pride through well known places
Stepping on cars
And shining on cars
Passing by their heads are high
But their hearts are low down
Dragging as they go
Reaching out to those other faces


Down, down in Hollywood town
The good time sounds are heard all day
But the nightimes coming
You′re on your own
Looking for a place
Someone to share with
Waiting in queues
To hear the blues
To find a way from the emptiness
To be found inside
Of those who try
To climb to the image of the TV good guy

Stranger I know you
We learned to walk together
Lovers wondering where we really are
I'd like to show you
Images of sister, brother
Standing off from one another
But not very far

Down, down in Hollywood Town,
The lost and found come to find their way,
Walkin′ outside, feelings they hide,
Putting their pride through well known paces.
Steppin' on stars and shining on cars
Passing by, their heads are high
But their hearts are lowdown,
Draggin' as they go,
Reachin′ out to those other faces.
