Still in Hollywood Lyrics
I was walking down the street early this morning
Past the graveyard, voices whisper to me.
I was walking down the street, early this morning
And the silver tears of rain hung from the leaves
And I swear I heard the voices singing to me...
Singing to the rhythm of the beat of my feet,
I swear I heard the voices singing to me -
Keep on, keep on, keep on.
Still in Hollywood!
oh WOW! Thought I'd be out of here by now.
Still in Hollywood!
My, my I'm running on a wheel and I don't know why
I don't know why.
And on the bus today, I met the queen of L.A. -
At least she said she was and who am I to say?
She was sixty-five and full of life,
She had purple-painted cheeks
And glitter on her eyes
And the troll on the corner, I flipped him a quarter
And he looked at me and smiled.
He wasn't abused, he wasn't confused,
He had nothing to gain and less to lose in Hollywood
oh WOW! Thought I'd be out of here by now.
Still in Hollywood!
My, my I'm running like a rat and I don't know why
And so it's three A.M., I'm out walking again.
I'm just a spot on the sidewalk in a city of sin.
He doesn't give a fuck, he's living under a truck.
You know it coulda been me, guess it's just my luck.
But I swear I hear the voices singing to me -
Keep on, keep on, keep on.
Still in Hollywood...
Past the graveyard, voices whisper to me.
I was walking down the street, early this morning
And the silver tears of rain hung from the leaves
And I swear I heard the voices singing to me...
Singing to the rhythm of the beat of my feet,
I swear I heard the voices singing to me -
Keep on, keep on, keep on.
oh WOW! Thought I'd be out of here by now.
Still in Hollywood!
My, my I'm running on a wheel and I don't know why
I don't know why.
At least she said she was and who am I to say?
She was sixty-five and full of life,
She had purple-painted cheeks
And glitter on her eyes
And the troll on the corner, I flipped him a quarter
And he looked at me and smiled.
He wasn't abused, he wasn't confused,
He had nothing to gain and less to lose in Hollywood
Still in Hollywood!
My, my I'm running like a rat and I don't know why
I'm just a spot on the sidewalk in a city of sin.
He doesn't give a fuck, he's living under a truck.
You know it coulda been me, guess it's just my luck.
But I swear I hear the voices singing to me -
Keep on, keep on, keep on.

Ah ha, after searching and not being able to find the "it'll chew you up and spit you out lyrics ANYWHERE, it's sunday and I decided to take this task on my self
Well I was tripping down the street early this morning and psychic lady pointed at me She said come on in and I gave her my money said tell me, tell me, what you see and she said she saw the angels dancing with me dancing to the beat of feet down the street she said she saw the angels dancing with me keep on, keep on, keep on now
Still in Hollywood Oh I thought I'd be out of here by now Still in Hollywood My, my I'm running on a wheel and I don't know why I don't know why
And I ran into Tommy Pomy what a goddamned phony had a new fish on the line well the last one left with the last bad check the only good one, and the other half died I gotta live and live, I gotta learn to forgive You know that everybodies gotta right But theres evil all around in this broken down city its a twenty four hour fight
Still in Hollywood Oh wow I thought I'd be outta here by now Still in Hollywood My, my I'm running on a wheel and don't know why Still in Hollywood Oh wow I thought I'd be outta here by now Still in Hollywood My, my, my I'm running on wheel and don't know, don't know, don't know why
So lets me and you go get a new tattoo we can hop on the harley and cruise We can start at the pier and share a beer Head out to the desert I can feel it from here Ride all the way to where the lizards play Riding on, and on, and on Theres a million stars it'll blow you away It's all so Concrete Blonde
Still in Hollywood Thats right, you know we can ride it out all night Still in Hollywood Hey, hey, hey I got to, gottaway, gotta getaway yeah Still in Hollywood My, my, my yes I'm glad to be alive Still in Hollywood mama gonna be sombody, someday, sometime Still in Hollywood Oh yeah, ooo......
i love this song, but i prefer the version "it'll chew you up and spit you out" better...different verses. i would submit the lyrics but i can't figure out what she says at the beginning of the second verse, and the lyrics for that song aren't in the lyric book. i can't seem to find them anywhere.
I agree penumbra that version is better!
I concur with penumbra. I wonder why that version isn't more available than it is? I had only found it on a compilation of IRS songs, but instantly fell for it.
