I Went to Hollywood - Trampled By Turtles

I went to Hollywood

The timing was peculiar

Palm trees like you said there was

The Viper Room was open

Saw your face in the window there

Like a light from everywhere

I went to Hollywood

And I barely got out

I cut my teeth in the middle west

But I was born to ramble

Hit the brakes and I pull to the left

And every day is a battle

Pointed west and I hit the road

Where the streets are paved with gold

I got to Hollywood

I pulled over and cried

Thought that I might meet a movie star

Ended up flat-drunk in the Rainbow bar

Now everybody moved to Silverlake

And no one sent a letter

The rent is high but the view is great

I guess they like it better

Spent the night on the street alone

Guess that I’ll just head back home

I went to Hollywood

But I showed up too late
