Lyrics

Hollywood is such a dream
And when you're only seventeen, it's wonderful
A movie man said she could be a star
A beauty queen, or a cover girl
She believes and packs up her things
And the wall of silence begins;

Every night was party night
She was everyone's delight, he let her stay
And when he'd had enough, he threw her out
And she found work in a small cafe
When she called they put her on hold
And the wall of silence grows;

Give me a break
Give me a break
This is hollywood
Open the door
Open the door
What am I going to do
When the money runs out
And there isn't any doubt
That I'll have nowhere to go

Hollywood is just a dream
But when you're only seventeen, it's magical
She went home to hide away
She wore her sadness like a veil, and closed the door
Till the day she smiles and recalls
And the wall of silence falls..
