Hollywood 7 Songtext
von Tex Perkins & His Ladyboyz

She came in one night from Omaha, worn out
She never could sleep on trains
Took the bus down to Hollywood
Lookin′ for a room in the rain
With hair so blonde and eyes so brown
She thought she'd take this town
And turn it upside down

Me, I was livin′ in a hotel just off Sunset
She moved in across the hall
And she said she'd be a movie star
And waited every mornin' for a call
So I asked her in for a little drink
But she hardly had the time
A call might come tomorrow
She got to learn her lines


On Hollywood Seven
Rooms to rent
Till your name goes up in lights
Woo, Hollywood Seven
You can dream your dreams
For seven bucks a night

And then months went by without a job
The money that she saved she nearly spent
So she started bringin′ strangers home
Tryin′ to find a way to pay the rent
And she'd sit down and drink my coffee
But nothin′ much to say
Just busy rehearsin' in her mind
The scene she′d never play

On Hollywood Seven
Rooms to rent
Till your name goes up in lights
Woo, Hollywood Seven
You can dream your dreams
For seven bucks a night


I found her there one mornin'
She didn′t come for coffee when I called
She brought the wrong one home last night
There were crazy lipstick marks upon the wall
Now she's goin' back to Omaha
But not the way she planned
There′ll be no crowd to cheer her on
No welcome home, no band

On Hollywood Seven
Rooms to rent
Till your name goes up in lights
Woo, Hollywood Seven
You can dream your dreams
For seven bucks a night

On Hollywood Seven
Rooms to rent
Till your name goes up in lights
Woo, Hollywood Seven
You can dream your dreams
For seven bucks a night
Seven bucks a night
Seven bucks a night
Seven bucks a night
Seven bucks a night
