Sunset Strip Lyrics
Sitting here on top of the world
I got everything
I need from this world
Oh tonight, I got it right
Just one time
Cruising down the Sunset Strip
And there is nothing that's not,
That's not within my grip
Oh tonight, I can fly
I can fly
Look at me for the very last time
I've climbed so high
I've got no place left to climb
And I know, no tomorrow
Rock star, pop star, everybody dies
All tomorrow's parties
They have happened tonight
And I know that I won't see tomorrow
Sitting on the Hollywood sign
Watching the girls get off the bus
Watching the danger in their eyes
When they leave with broken hearts
Their shredded valentines
I came here from a dirty dark street
There was no one there to protect me
To make the nightmares go away
It has to sparkle
It has to shine
So hard
Look at me for the very last time
I've climbed so high
I've got no place left to climb
And I know, no tomorrow
Rock star, pop star, everybody dies
All tomorrow's parties
They have happened tonight
And I know that I won't see tomorrow
Turn on all the porno please
Been drowning here for days
Bad food, bad sex, bad TV and internet
Take all these stupid pills away
Climb down the boulevard
I'm coming down so fast
I'm coming down so hard
And I've said I can't stop
All those voices in your head
I don't sleep, I never dream
I just shut them up
Now I just keep screaming run away
It's the last time
It's the last time
Look at me for the very last time
I've climbed so high
I've got no place left to climb
No, I know, no tomorrow
Before the sparkle in my eyes
Turns to straight night
All this bleeding heart is still a valentine
Gonna ride this thing until the wheels fall off
Cause girls like me, we always get what we want
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Diamond and the promises and a million dollar bills
All the lives we're wasting in the Holloywood Hills
Cause we know, we're to good for tomorrow
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yesterday's girl or tomorrow's hot teens
Were you jerking off to her
Or were you jerking off to me?
And I know, that I won't know tomorrow
Yeah, you want my magic tower
You want my porno ways
I'm throwing them out
Dusty diamond's gone to rubies
Baby, I was well
You rock'n'roll bitches
You can get what you want, yeah
? me and I'm listening to you
The keys to the bed and the chateau too
Your little shit coated world
It is rotten to the core
I didn't know you were born without a soul
I've got voices screaming in my head
Are you jerking off in your bed?
It's not punk, it's not cool
It's not even boring
And it's not Eminem who's gonna save me
They're for real life
Realize
They tried to steal my soul
I've got pills when Famous
I got pills when you're old
I've got pills cause I'm bored
I've got pills cause you're dead
I've got cause I am the worst and best dressed
I've got pills cause I feel more than twentyone
Got pills cause I know, baby, you're not the one
I've got pills for my coochie
Cause baby, I'm sore
I've got pills cause you're mad
I've got pills cause I'm bored
Cruising down the Sunset Strip
And there is nothing that's not,
That's not within my grip
Oh tonight, I got it right
Just one time
I got everything
I need from this world
Oh tonight, I got it right
Just one time
And there is nothing that's not,
That's not within my grip
Oh tonight, I can fly
I can fly
I've climbed so high
I've got no place left to climb
And I know, no tomorrow
All tomorrow's parties
They have happened tonight
And I know that I won't see tomorrow
Watching the girls get off the bus
Watching the danger in their eyes

It has to shine
So hard

I think this song is about all the little wannabe models/actresses/hookers/waitresses trying to break into Hollywood to be megastars,But Courtney dosent have to try cos shes already "sitting here on top of the world" and "ive climbed so high ive got no place left to climb" and i may add the price of fame always has the bad parts.when she says about Drugs and being insane "the doctor said i cant stop all those voices in your head" or "ive been drowning here for days,bad food bad sex bad tv,internet" i like this song,fabulous!
The last 2 minutes of Sunset Strip are a bliss to listen.. They have the most emotion packed into 2 minutes out of any song anyone heard in 2004, thats makes America's Sweetheart so compelling.. It has emotion..
I crank the volume in the car and sing it super loud as I m cruising the Motorway ! They're for real life They tried to steal my soul I got pils 'cause I'm famous I got pills when your old I've got pills cause I'm blonde I've got pills cause you're dead I've got cause I am the worst and best dressed

I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS CD DIDN'T SELL WELL. IT IS HER BEST WORK YET. PLEASE GO BUY THE CD. YOU WON'T REGRET IT. SHE HAS A NEW CD COMING OUT THIS YEAR. SHE WORKED WITH BILLY CORGAN ON IT, I CANT WAIT
This is soo great.. Anyone knows what the meaning of the song is? I love it.. Her voice is perfect
This song is a beautiful ode to/ expose of celebrity and a reaffirmation of the power of music (specifically rock).
i agree with rolfi, her voice is amazing. my mom said that she had a shitty voice and i spazed. her songs really speak to me.
once again i see a referece to kurt (sexy sexy kurt).. in the line "i've got pills cause you're dead"
man, kurt was unbelievably attractive. one of the more memorable dreams ive had was making out with kurt cobain on top of a car. mmm. i know they always talking about courtney murdering him, but she sang a song with hole, a cover, called 'pale blue eyes' and every word was filled with this longing.. you can tell she really loved him.
also, several of the lyrics in this song are wrong. im listening to it while reading at a few are real bad, but the general meaning is through.
also.....the f**king lyrics are wrong! theres a whole verse thats missing! does almostmanda even know courtney love lyrics?
