Letra de 'Rock And Roll Boomtown' de Pride of Lions

On the great western shores of America
On the Santa Monica mountains
A city was built out of tinsel and silt
Hollywood

To cinema stars it was paradise
And the hype of it's glory spread east
Musicians came in for the sun and the sin
Of Hollywood

And for a while
We lived high
The records were spinning so fast
But the well soon ran dry
Platinum dreams
Shattered like glass in this

Rock and roll boom town
Hollywood lies
There's no gold on sunset
Just open your eyes
Rock and roll boom town
It's not as it seems
Cause scattered down sunset
Are pieces of dreams

Their record went gold on arrival
The billboards were shouting their names
They sailed on river of vinyl
While Evangeline made up her fame

And the palm trees swayed
Laurel Canyon played
The harmony rang like a chime
But parties and pills
And nose candy thrills
Were scheming to undo the vibe

Still we watch and repeat
Yet sometimes we wonder just why
Is it the lure of the street?
Is it something inside us?
We just can't deny in this

Rock and roll boom town
Hollywood lies
There's no gold on sunset
Just open your eyes
Rock and roll boom town
It's not as it seems
Cause scattered down sunset
Are pieces of dreams

The Roxy's alive
The Rainbow's on fire
The Whiskey is standing room only
And starting today
Straight from the U.K.
The Police will never be lonely

They're causing a scene
Sweet things in their teens
They gather at Rodny's tonight
And then gave a scream
The death of a dream
A psycho named Manson
Destroyed paradise

Rock and roll boom town
Hollywood lies
There's no gold on sunset
Just open your eyes
Rock and roll boom town
It's not as it seems
Cause scattered down sunset
Are pieces of dreams

Rock and roll boom town
Hollywood lies
There's no gold on sunset
Just open your eyes
