Another night
Beneath the city lights
She’s sitting with her pen in hand
A letter she has tried to write;
Feelings she has tried to fight
Will she ever get it mailed? She doubts it…
Her head’s a mess
Her room is quiet
Next door a woman’s screaming at her man
It’s been going on for days
Who cares?
She never listens to them anyway. Not anymore…
She knows somewhere;
Someplace far away from here
There is a starry night
As a child she used to watch the sky
Not anymore
Now she’s blinded by the neon lights…
It’s another night in Hollywood
It all fades away
Now it’s 3 a.m. in Hollywood…
Her world is artificial;
Officially she’s living in another land
She came across the border
No one saw her. It was dark
She spent a week sleeping in the park
Abandoned by her man
She heard about a promised land
She just had to try
She left her little one;
One day she was gone
Will he remember her as time goes by?
It’s another night in Hollywood
It all fades away
Now it’s 3 a.m. in Hollywood…
She knows she’ll never ever get away!
She’ll never get away…
