Hollywood

Orange and yellow and purple and green
The lights of the city at night set the scene
Stumble through the bars of forget-me-not lane
Sparkle through the glitter but don't show the pain

In Hollywood
Underneath a golden palm tree
Hollywood
Come to the party the drinks are on me
For free

Heartbeats echo through a cavern of love
Come to the tavern I'll meet you up above
Soaring through the heavens, what a fabulous ride
But everybody's heading for the same place to hide

In Hollywood
Underneath a golden palm tree
Hollywood
Come to the party the drinks are on me
For free
The drink's on me
For free
The drink's on me
For free
The drink's on me
The drink's on me
The drink's on me
The drink's on me

Highway Highlight (from the box set booklet) "Hollywood" is another picture drawn from life by Bunnell, this time of the Sunset Strip scene: "We burned the candle at both ends pretty heavily in '73. We were going to the Roxy and the Rainbow Bar & Grill, and it was heady times. The whole [Ziggy Stardust] and the Spiders From Mars thing was going on. There was this contrast between us in jeans and plaid shirts and these spacey guys with pink hair and weird makeup. The chatter and clinking glasses on that track is actually George and some of the Air [Studios] secretaries. We wanted traffic sounds, so we hung a mike outside the window, two stories up. Then we asked Pete Reuther [America's road manager] to drive around the block and park in the middle of the road and get people to honk at us. And we just couldn't get much--people wouldn't honk. Finally, though, he got enough."
